ASV flote beidzot sāks Losandželosas klases kodolzemūdenes USS Boise (SSN 764) remontu. Līgums tiks piešķirts 2024. finanšu gadā, kas sākās 2023. gada 1. oktobrī. Kas ir zināms USS Boise (SSN 764) nav bijis iegremdēts kopš 2017. gada. Turklāt kopš 2020. gada kodolzemūdene atrodas Huntington Ingalls Industries kuģu būvētavā. USS Boise (SSN 764) remontdarbi sāksies 2024. fiskālā gada sākumā. Par to paziņoja kontradmirālis Džonatans Rukers, uzbrukuma zemūdeņu programmas izpilddirektors. USS Boise (SSN 764) kapitālais remonts ir aizkavējies gandrīz 10 gadus, jo valdības kuģu būvētavas neievēro piegādes termiņus. Šī iemesla dēļ priekšroka tika dota Ohaio klases stratēģiskajām zemūdenēm un gaisa kuģu pārvadātājiem. USS Boise (SSN 764) palika bez sertifikāta, kas ļautu zemūdenei nirt. Remonta laikā viņai tiks veikta apkope, kā arī korpusa konstrukcijas, tanku, ieroču un papildu sistēmu atjaunošana. USS Boise (SSN 764) kļuva par otro ASV flotes kuģi, kas nosaukts Aidaho pilsētas vārdā. Kodolzemūdene tika nodota ekspluatācijā 1992. gada novembrī. Viņa ir 110,3 metrus gara, 10 metrus plata, un tās kopējā tilpums pārsniedz 7000 tonnas. Vertikālās palaišanas sistēmas ļauj palaist pretkuģu raķetes Harpoon un spārnotās raķetes Tomahawk. Turklāt Losandželosas klases zemūdene ir bruņota ar četrām 533 mm torpēdu caurulēm Avots: USNI News

USS BOISE (CL-47) arrives at the Philadelphia Navy Yard in November 1942 for repair of battle damage received during the October 11-12 Battle of Cape Esperance.

Note: "the forward 6/47 triple gun turret trained to starboard. It was jammed in this position during the action, when a Japanese 8 inch shell hit the armored barbette just below the turret."

"Number Three 6/47 triple gun turret, showing the effects of a Japanese shell that struck the turret's 6½-inch class A armor face plate during the battle. The shell, of unknown caliber, exploded on impact. It did relatively little damage to the armor, but its fragments riddled nearby structure and gouged the turret's guns. The explosion also destroyed the leather gun bucklers."

"View in the lower handling room of 6/47 triple gun turret # 2 (Compartment A-510-M), showing damage received during the battle. This space was burned out when a Japanese shell hit the ship below the waterline, penetrated the hull and exploded nearby, setting ammunition afire. The view shows a powder hoist, with the remains of a cartridge still in place. It was estimated that over 1000 pounds of gun propellant burned in this handling room and its powder hoists."

Light cruiser USS Boise (CL-47) returns to the Philadelphia Naval Yard to repair damage sustained in the Battle of Cape Esperance, November 1942. Minutes before midnight off Guadalcanal on October 11th, an American task force under Rear Admiral Norman Scott intercepted and engaged a Japanese cruiser force under the command of Rear Admiral Aritomo Gotō. Boise helped sink the heavy cruiser Furutaka and destroyer Fubuki, also assisting in battering Gotō's flagship Aoba. Less than 20 minutes after the battle had been joined, Boise was struck by eight 203mm shells from the cruiser Kinugasa. Boise's forward magazines were flooded and several of her guns were put out of action, forcing the cruiser to break formation and leave the battle. The damage proved not to be fatal, however, and she was able to return home for repairs under her own power.

No question today. Just have a nice USS Boise for you. Don't remember seeing her posted. If she is I apologize for wasting your time. Stay safe and have fun my friend! 😁✌️

Trimmed to fit the screen and posted, thanks
