Herman was at the Longbeach Naval Ship yard. She was used to handle the 160 ton weights required to weight test the 80 ton booms and rigging on LKA 116 while in the yard in 73. According to Wiki, the crane was sold to the Panama Canal commission after the LBNSY was closed and is still in use in the canal zone.
