| On February 22, 1971
the Oklahoma City crossed the sill of dry dock #5 in Yokosuka, Japan
for a two-week upkeep period. During her "high and
dry" period, Oklahoma City was scraped down, sand-blasted and
given a new coat of paint. Resting on scaffolding, she took on
a "Gulliver" appearance with scores of Japanese workmen
dwarfed by her hulking size. |
