Battleship Dry Dock Update: Dock Close to Being Dry March 30, 2024

Dock #3 at the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard, where the Battleship is currently berthed, is nearly empty of water.  Pumps have been pumping water back into the Delaware River so crews can begin preventive maintenance on the ship’s hull.  The dock is expected to be free of water later today, Saturday, March 30.

The Battleship arrived at the Dry Dock on  Wednesday, March 27 from the Paulsboro Marine Terminal, where nearly 500,000 gallons of water was added to the ship for ballast.  She left her permanent berth at the Camden Waterfront during an event on Thursday, March 21.

Dry Dock Guided Tours of the Battleship will be offered on Saturdays and Sundays, when work is not being done at the ship, beginning Saturday, April 6.  The approximate one-hour guided tour will take guests down into the dock,  show the work being done to her and also provide an up-close experience of the ship’s propellers and hull.  Tickets are a donation of $220 per person and can be purchased online at Dry Dock Guided Tours.   Proceeds from the Dry Dock Guided Tour go to support the Battleship, a non-profit museum and memorial.

The Battleship is expected to be in dry dock for 60 days.  A return date to the Camden Waterfront will be announced once crews examine the ship’s hull and begin work.
