USS Iowa Mast

Crews put the finishing touches on the mast platform before it is hoisted atop the USS Iowa. When the navy removed the platform in 2001 so it could clear an area bridge it was left dismantled in several pieces on the deck of the ship. The crews have to weld and adjust the platform so it fits perfectly when it is seated to the ship. (Mark Carlson/The Gazette-KCRG)
