25 years ago witnessed the launch of a destroyer at Bath Iron Works in Maine. Quite the engineering feat. No pictures to share. Passed thru Bath in July and there was a lot of activity.

Hi Malcolm, This launch was different than most launches I have been involved with during my career in shipbuilding in that the boat was built in an enclosed structure and then moved with a powered vehicle to the drydock where it was put into the water. The whole process of moving the vessel a few 1000 feet to the drydock took about two hours and was pretty interesting to watch, one man in front of the move with a joystick controller tethered to the vehicle.
