Workers set a record clearing her wreckage, patching her up and refitting her. Last week she was back in the Pacific. Also back in the Pacific, after extensive repairs at the overworked Bremerton Yard: the veteran light cruiser Nashville, the destroyers Haraden and Lamson-all victims of Kamikaze planes.
