Officials are investigating why a crane and its operator ended up in the water Monday at a San Francisco ship repair company at Pier 70.

The operator was treated and released at the hospital. His name was not released.

During the approximately four hours the crane was in the water it released lubricating oil, said U.S. Coast Guard Petty Officer Dawn Lamb. The crane held a total of 50 gallons of hydraulic oil, but inspectors are not sure how much of that seeped into the water.

The amount was "nothing detrimental" to the environment, Lamb said. Also, the company arranged for a boom to be placed around the area within 45 minutes of the incident, she said.

The company, BAE Systems San Francisco Ship Repair, the Coast Guard and the California Division of Occupational Safety and Health are investigating the incident to determine what caused the 100-foot crane to slip off the rail, said Dan Ebert, BAE human resources manager.

The crane, which is used to transport parts to and from ships, was moving but was not at a ship when it fell, so the operator and crane landed in water. Typically, a large vessel is lowered underwater, allowing water to fill it and a ship to be positioned over the dry dock vessel. Then the vessel is raised, lifting the ship to land for repair.

"We have not had this happen here," in the 40 years since a dry dock has operated at Pier 70 on San Francisco's eastern edge, Ebert said. ]]>

Overall length of 170 m, a beam of 23.5 m, a speed of 16 knots and a cargo capacity of 8,200 tons. The vessels are classified Class 1A" and feature a double loading deck design.

The cargo is carried on cassettes, and the vessels are the first in the world to be specially designed for cassette handling. In the centre of the vessels on each deck, there is a longitudinal bulkhead separating the decks into two 10.5 m wide areas, each with room for four cassettes athwartships. This system minimises the risk of load movement and cargo damage during transport.

The vessels are highly computerised and designed for operation by a nine-men crew.]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/sca-transforest-m-v-strand-on-a-drydock/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/sca-transforest-m-v-strand-on-a-drydock/ Sat, 22 Dec 2007 18:01:17 -0800 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/sca-transforest-m-v-strand-on-a-drydock/ 57.70501800 11.94682400 <![CDATA[Coflexip Stena Offshore (CSO) Constructor on a floating drydock]]>

HMS Victorious (S29) is the second Vanguard class submarine of the Royal Navy. Victorious carries the Trident ballistic missile, the UK's nuclear deterrent.

Victorious was built at Barrow-in-Furness by Vickers Shipbuilding and Engineering Ltd (now BAE Systems Submarine Solutions), was launched in September 1993, and commissioned in January 1995.

Victorious was involved in minor collision with a United States Coast Guard ship in July 2001. The Coast Guard ship became tangled in the fibre optic cables of the submarine's sonar system which disabled its turbines. Victorious was not damaged in the incident.]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/hms-victorious-s29-in-drydock/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/hms-victorious-s29-in-drydock/ Sat, 27 Oct 2007 15:27:44 -0700 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/hms-victorious-s29-in-drydock/ 50.38598900 -4.18582400 <![CDATA[Greek Navy 'Zubr Class' hovercraft in drydock]]>

The Greek Navy operates four ships. Three vessels were commissioned in 2001: Kefallonia (L180) was purchased used from the Russian Navy but has been upgraded, Ithaki (L181) was completed in Ukraine, and Zakynthos (L183) was built in Russia. A fourth vessel, Kerkira, was launched in June 2004 at St Petersburg yard and was commissioned in January 2005.

The Russian designed Zubr or Project 1232.2 class (NATO reporting name Pomornik) is the world’s largest military hovercraft and serves as a Landing Craft air-cushion (or LCAC). Note that the Bora is bigger but has side walls so it is not considered a true hovercraft because some of the side structure is in the water.

Zubr is designed to sealift landing assault units (such as marines or tanks) from equipped/non-equipped vessels to non-equipped shore, as well as transport and plant mines.

The Los Angeles class is a class of nuclear-powered fast attack submarines (SSN) that forms the backbone of the United States submarine fleet, and is the most numerous class of nuclear powered submarine in the world. They were preceded by the Sturgeon class and followed by the short-lived Seawolf class and the Virginia class. Usually named after U.S. cities, the LA class broke a long-standing Navy tradition of naming attack submarines after sea creatures. The boats are also colloquially referred to as "688-class" subs, after the hull classification symbol of the first boat, SSN-688.]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/los-angeles-class-submarine-in-drydock/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/los-angeles-class-submarine-in-drydock/ Wed, 15 Aug 2007 17:40:24 -0700 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/los-angeles-class-submarine-in-drydock/ 43.08274300 -70.74390300 <![CDATA[Arleigh Burke class destroyer in floating drydock]]>

The Arleigh Burke class of guided missile destroyers, one of the destroyer classes of the United States Navy, is built around the Aegis combat system and the SPY-1D multi-function phased array radar. The first ship was commissioned on 4 July 1991. With the decommissioning of the last Spruance-class destroyer, USS Cushing, on September 21, 2005, the Arleigh Burke class ships are the U.S. Navy's only active destroyers.]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/arleigh-burke-uss-kidd-ddg-100-class-destroyer-being-built/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/arleigh-burke-uss-kidd-ddg-100-class-destroyer-being-built/ Wed, 23 May 2007 10:10:46 -0700 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/arleigh-burke-uss-kidd-ddg-100-class-destroyer-being-built/ 30.34478300 -88.57663200 <![CDATA[German Navy Bremen class frigate Rheinland-Pfalz (F209) in floating drydock]]>

The eight F122 Bremen class frigates of the German Navy have been commissioned between 1982 and 1990. The design is similar to the Dutch Kortenaer class but uses a different hull and propulsion system. The ships were built for anti-submarine warfare as primary task even though they are not fitted with towed array sonars. but are also suited for anti-aircraft warfare and anti-surface warfare.

This class of ship was one of the last to be constructed under post-war displacement limitations imposed by the WEU on West Germany. Several weight reduction measurements were needed which now lead to some problems with crack buildups in the superstructure.

The Bremen class will be replaced by the planned F125 class frigates, starting probably around 2010. Until then they will serve as the backbone of the German Navy.]]>

The Artigliere class light frigates, operational with the Italian Navy, were built by Fincantieri at their Ancona and Riva Trigosa shipyards. They were initially built for Iraq, but delivery was cancelled following the United Nations embargoes against Iraq in 1990. New weapons and communications systems were fitted to meet the requirements of the Italian Navy. Marina Militare (MM) Artigliere (F582), MM Aviere (F583) and MM Granitiere (F585) built at Ancona, were commissioned in 1994, 1995 and 1996. The third-of-class ship, MM Bersagliere (F584), commissioned in 1995, was built at the Riva Trigosa shipyards in Genoa.

The helicopter deck at the stern has a single landing spot for an Agusta Bell AB 212 helicopter.]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/italian-artigliere-class-light-frigate-mm-aviere-f583-in-floating-drydock/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/italian-artigliere-class-light-frigate-mm-aviere-f583-in-floating-drydock/ Sat, 24 Feb 2007 19:17:50 -0800 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/italian-artigliere-class-light-frigate-mm-aviere-f583-in-floating-drydock/ 40.47257100 17.26020000 <![CDATA[Italian Maestrale class frigate 'MM Zeffiro' (F577) in drydock]]>

Aker MTW is a well known shipyard on the Baltic Sea with more than 50 years of experience. It is located close to the old historical hanseatic city centre of Wismar, halfway between two other hanseatic towns: Rostock and Lübeck.

The layout of the new yard allows Aker MTW to increase ship size up to 335m length and 60m beam. The sophisticated production machinery park combined with the knowledge of about 1500 highly skilled employees enables Aker MTW to build also ships such as Icebreaking Tanker with complex hull structures, thick plates, large profiles and narrow frame spacing with an appropriate quality. ]]>

At 12 noon, January 8 2005, Guam Time, the USS SAN FRANCISCO, SSN-711, hit an uncharted undersea mountain while travelling at high speed about 500 ft below surface. The submarine was able to surface and head back to Guam. One critically injured sailor died January 9, while 23 other crewmen are treated for injuries by SEAL medical personnel that came aboard January 9. On its way back to Guam, the SAN FRANCISCO was escorted by USNS GYSGT FRED W. STOCKHAM (T-AK 3017) and USCGC GALVESTON ISLAND (WPB 1349). USNS KISKA (T-AE 35) as well as military aircraft stood by to assist if required.

Russian Victor III class attack submarine in drydock

The Victor class is the general NATO classification for a type of nuclear-powered submarine that was originally put into service by the Soviet Union around 1967. In the USSR, they were produced under Project 671. Victor-class subs featured a teardrop shape, which allowed them to travel at high speed. These vessels were primarily designed to protect Soviet surface fleets and to attack American ballistic missile subs, should the need ever arise.

The Soviet Union discovered through its spy network that Americans could easily track Victor II-class subs (one of the sub-classifications listed below) and subsequently halted production of that type to design the Victor III class.

Victor III entered service in 1979; 25 or 26 were produced under Project 671RTM. Quieter, these had 2 tubes for launching SS-N-21 or SS-N-15 missiles and Type 53 torpedoes, plus another 4 tubes for launching SS-N-16 missiles and Type 65 torpedoes. 24 tube-launched weapons or 36 mines could be on-board.]]>

The Soviet Union’s Project 949 (Granit) and Project 949A (Antey) submarines are known in the West by their NATO reporting names: the Oscar-I and Oscar-II classes respectively.

Oscars are the largest attack subs by now, being slightly larger than Ohio-class submarines of the United States Navy, displacing less when surfaced but more when submerged, as they are shorter in length but broader in beam.

Carries 24 Granit SS-N-19 missiles in two banks of 12 tubes mounted outside the pressure hull. Six large doors, hinged on the outside, cover the tubes in pairs on either side of the sail (British: fin).]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/russian-oscar-ii-submarine-in-drydock/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/russian-oscar-ii-submarine-in-drydock/ Tue, 13 Jun 2006 00:43:25 -0700 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/russian-oscar-ii-submarine-in-drydock/ 52.89682800 158.44166900 <![CDATA[German Type 206 submarine in drydock]]>

Mare Island was one of the most important Navy shipyards in the country, and is a diversely developed self-contained city. It opened in 1854, and during the height of WWII, 42,000 people worked here. It was closed in 1996, and the 5,500 acre peninsula, with nearly 1,000 buildings, is being redeveloped. The working waterfront area is the dominant feature of the site, where several drydocks, cranes, and large engineering and assembly buildings continue to be used by civilian companies and reserve military forces. Among the prominent specialized buildings on base is a high bay engineering structure for the assembly of submarine periscopes, as nuclear submarines were some of the many types of navy vessels built and repaired at Mare Island.

POLAR STAR and her sister ship, POLAR SEA, are the world's most powerful non-nuclear icebreakers. Built by Lockheed Shipbuilding and Construction Company of Seattle, Washington, the two powerful icebreakers are based at the Seattle Coast Guard Support Center at Pier 36.

The Polar Class icebreakers are two of the largest cutters operated by the Coast Guard. These cutters, specifically designed for open-water icebreaking have reinforced hulls, special icebreaking bows, and a system that allows rapid shifting of ballast to increase the effectiveness of their icebreaking. The Polar Sea and Polar Star were built in the 1970s. They serve in Arctic/Antarctic serving science and research as well as providing supplies to remote stations. Both Polar Class icebreakers are under the control of Pacific Area, Ice Operations Section.

HMCS Chicoutimi is a Victoria-class long-range patrol submarine of the Canadian Forces Maritime Command. Shortly after being handed over from Britain to Canada she suffered a fire at sea, which sparked a fierce debate over the value of the purchase of this group of second-hand vessels, as well as the handover inspection process.]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/hmcs-chicoutimi-ssk-879-in-dry-dock/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/hmcs-chicoutimi-ssk-879-in-dry-dock/ Mon, 17 Oct 2005 23:18:43 -0700 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/hmcs-chicoutimi-ssk-879-in-dry-dock/ 44.65698500 -63.57955500 <![CDATA[Submarine in drydock]]>
