it took them over a month to get the picture because it took 3 days to get back to Espiritu Santo where it sat until August 1 and then almost 3 weeks to get to Mare Island. The Pacific is big and she could not steam at much more than 15 knots if that. H---------She went into drydock (finally) on August 20). This picture would have been at pier 23 Mare Island just after she arrived.

Note also the several reinforcing irons welded across the buckled deck sections for added strength before sailing across the Pacific.
