The revolving crane could lift more than 300 tons 100 feet from the centerline, and remain on an even keel. Interesting to see the large bulges here, added during her reconstruction to increase displacement and stability.

She'd be the perfect escort for CV-1 Langley, they're both old, slow tubs...
