[Rhodes22-list] On Second Try, Intrepid Agrees to Leave Dock

[Michael D. Weisner]

She hasn't moved in 24 years so she probably hasn't been painted in those 24
years either.  My guess is that she has added MANY FEET of bottom growth
that must now be removed.  Paint removal is not the problem!

I was once told that the navy experimented with charging the hull with
respect to the water to prevent marine growth, rather than apply bottom
paint.  Does anyone know if this was actually true and, if so, did it work?

wonder what kind of  bottom paint they use on her bottom?
