I am glad they are repairing her. Repairing ships is a good exercise in real world scenarios. During WWII that ship would have already been repaired and back in the fight.

The ship on which I served in the early 60s (USS Vulcan, AR-5) did exactly that. It was noted for repairing some of Halsey's damaged fleet, returning them to action.
