In order to keep the aging members of its fleet active, the U.S. Navy requires overhauls, drydockings, and refits - usually on tight schedules. Yards such as South Carolina-based Detyens Shipyards Inc. face that challenge head on. Among Detyens' recent repair projects is the regular overhaul and drydocking of the USNS Lewis and Clark (T-AKE 1). Work on the 689 ft ship includes furnishing general ship services; underwater hull cleaning and painting, and more. Work is to be completed August 2018.
