as I was stationed abord KITTY HAWK CV-63 80-84 ;we (holes-nipes) we aware that the Main Machinery rooms were part of the hull that suffered a disaterous fire in the yards. Our ship "The Hawk" was actualy the Hull of the ill-fated Constellation CV-62 and it's original commission was bumped over to the Hawks hull. Thus the delay and repairs didn't show up in any Gov reports......Sooooo the Ranger CV61 Constellation CV62 and The Kittyhawk CV63 left the yards on time with only the yard birds and the Navy hushers the wiser.FYI check Hawks record for bad luck and deaths associated with her..interesting history
