Regarding your recent article about the deperming of submarines: The Navy
also deperms surface combattants. They wrap them with cables for a day or
two to do this. Recently I saw them do a carrier. Apparently Norfolk is the
only place big enough to do this. In Norfolk, VA, the work is done here:

"...The project was the retro upgrade of the complex array of surface structures
and underwater cables for the only magnetic silencing facility in the world
that has the electrical capability of deperming an aircraft carrier or (CVN
Class). The project included the reconstruction of several 1,500' x
10' wide piers using non-magnetic concrete piles, precast concrete deck and
cast-in-place concrete moorings. All of the reinforcing steel and metals
for this project were stainless steel..." (BTW, the picture is full size

"...The Magnetic Silencing Facility maintains and operates degaussing ranges
at the Sewells Point Degaussing Range and Lamberts Point Deperming Station
and magnetic treatment and calibration services at Lamberts Point Deperming
Station. The Station provides degaussing services, including ranging and
deperming for US Navy, US Government and friendly nation ships. They also
provide technical reports as required, maintain degaussing records of all
US Navy ships, and provide on board technical and administrative training
to both US Navy ships and friendly nation Navies..."

On November 14-18 we traveled up river on the Elizabeth to the deperming
station and wrapped hundreds of cables around the ship to de-magnitize. It
was a lot of work, 12 hr days starting at 5:45a till 5p. We got the job done
in record time as always.

Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay, GA
TRIREFFAC's state-of-the-art Magnetic Silencing Facility provides degaussing
services to Trident, fast attack and United Kingdom submarines, as well as
steel hull surface craft. TRIREFFAC's MSF is the only facility of its kind
on the East Coast. A high-tech "drive-in procedure is employed when bringing
ships into the MSF, which saves time and reduces the cost of this essential
evolution. The Magnetic Silencing Facility is also used for research for
development of future magnetic systems.

Title : Technical Proposal for the Design of the Magnetometer Arrays at
the Trident Magnetic Silencing Facility [Kitsap].
Corporate Author : NAVAL FACILITIES ENGINEERING COMMAND WASHINGTON DC CHESAPEAKE
DIV
Report Date : MAR 1976
Abstract : Key elements of the Magnetic Silencing Facility (MSF) for the
TRIDENT submarine are the magnetometer arrays at the ranging site and at
the magnetic treatment slip. The accuracy of location, orientation and stability
of these arrays is rigorously required in order to: (1) establish the level
of magnetism existing within the submarine returning from patrol, and (2)
to insure adequate reduction in the submarine magnetic signature by deperming
operations. The planned installations of the MSF within the Hood Canal, Bangor,
Washington are a departure from other deperming facilities in that considerably
deeper water depths are involved and the sub-bottom sediments at the ranging
array site exhibit metastable properties. These features place increased
demands on adequate system design and installation methods. The primary
objectives of the proposed program are to analyze system concepts and develop
the detailed design, specifications and installation sequence for the ranging
and magnetic treatment slip magnetometer arrays fo the Magnetic Silencing
Facility (MSF). The installation process will establish the exact position
location of the magnetomeyters within each array to requirement compatible
with shore station tracking equipments. A secondary objective will be to
provide OICC TRIDENT with an informed and experienced cadre of ocean engineers
to assist in performance leading to the activation of the MSF. These objectives
will be accomplished in accordance with the technical plan outlined in this
proposal.

Establishment of the US Navy Mine Warfare Center in the Corpus Christi
Bay Area, Texas
The proposed action includes new construction and/or modification of existing
facilities at Naval Station Ingleside. Dredging activities associated with
the project involve new work dredging and subsequent maintenance dredging
of the magnetic silencing facility.
