Lexington had been hit by an aircraft torpedo on the night of December 4-5 1943 off Kwajalein, losing steering control and her number 2 shaft, limping back to Pearl Harbor on December 9. She went into dry dock (as pictured) for emergency repairs on December 11 to allow her to get to Bremerton, leaving Pearl on December 17 and arriving in Puget Sound on December 22. She dry docked there from December 28 to February 7 1944, then went to San Diego to pick up an air group and returned to Pearl Harbor on February 28, 1944. She then went to Majuro arriving March 8, 1944 and became the flag ship of Task Force 58 when RAdm Marc Mitscher went aboard.
