Aboard USS Winston S. Churchill (DDG 81) Aug. 5, 2002 -- The bow of the
Winston S. Churchill looms over the dry dock at Bath Iron Works
in Bath, Maine. The crew and workers are nearing the end of the
ship's Post Shakedown Availability (PSA), a $25 million upgrade to the
ship's equipment, warfare systems, and living quarters. After
being floated from the dry dock, the destroyer will receive the
remainder of the upgrades pier side before departing for her homeport
of Norfolk, Va., and becoming part of the USS Theodore Roosevelt
battlegroup. U.S. Navy photo by Intelligence Specialist 1st Class
