USS Minneapolis-Saint Paul SSN-708 Sail

Minneapolis-St. Paul, SSN-708, sail undergoing restoration at a machine shop near St. Cloud, MN. Note how the sail was cut during decom – by following the horizontal line, L to R, starting just below the H2 overboard, then it goes vertical for a bit, then back to horizontal over the fairwater planes. The upper half is not currently connected to the lower half. Instead, it’s supported by two hoists. The machine shop will prepare the sail by ensuring everything fits back together and then weld the upper and lower pieces after trucked to the museum location near Camp Ripley. https://www.mnvetmuseum.org/ssn708
