Arkansas Struck Bottom on Trial Run at Rockland
Washington dispatch reports the battleship Arkansas touched bottom during a preliminary tryout as it passed Two Bush channel entrance to Penobscot Day Sunday. Captain Fetchler, on the naval inspection board, notes the impact was on the left side about a quarter from the bow and near the keel. The subdivision of the hull limited flooding, a feature naval constructors say would have sunk the ship otherwise. The Arkansas remains with New York Shipbuilding Co and repairs are to be made by the company, likely taking about one month.
