Little known fact about the crane shown lowering the island of the 78 into place is that it was originally made to lower the reactors and fuel assemblies into the Carl Vinson (68) and the first time it was moved the electric motors did not run evenly and it jumped the tracks and then one side did not want to stop and it nearly went into the dry dock! Works much better now! Random but sad.
