Wharfmaster Posted February 22, 2016 Share #4 Posted February 22, 2016 USS Louisville aluminum Keel Laying and Launching Keys, Puget Sound Navy Yard, Bremerton, WA. They measure about 10 inches long. Believe it or not, found them at different times in different antique shops. Wharf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KASTAUFFER Posted February 22, 2016 Share #6 Posted February 22, 2016 CL-48, the USS Honolulu. It was my Father-In-Laws ship that he served on during the Pearl Harbor attack. He arrived on board in 1941 as a Seaman 2c and left a CBM in 1943. He is still alive at the active age of 95. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SylvesterP Posted February 22, 2016 Author Share #7 Posted February 22, 2016 Thanks for posting the keys! Never seen keys for keel laying or launching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fstop61 Posted February 24, 2016 Share #8 Posted February 24, 2016 Though not a CA or CL- I'll go back even further with mine: the USS Raleigh C-8. My great-grandfather Robert Wormald was aboard during the Battle of Manila Bay May 1898. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
