GREEN'S BAYOU

23 February to 28 July 1990 

When the work at Todd's was finished BB35 was move to Green's Bayou while the berth improvements at San Jacinto were being completed.  Green's Bayou is about 8 miles west of the San Jacinto Battleground.

While at Green's Bayou the following work was completed

• 26,660 square feet of 4inch x 4inchx 16inch yellow pine was used for the main deck and superstructure. The wooden deck cost $1,750,000.
• Most of the 10 mounts of 40mm anti-aircraft machine cannons were brought aboard. While not the TEXAS mounts of World War Two, they are the correct types. The rest were installed when BB35 returned to San Jacinto
• Most of the 10 Mark 51 Gun Directors were brought aboard. The director was by which one sailor or marine could train, elevate and fire one 40mm gun mount. In 1945, even though 10 40mm mounts were aboard; there were 12 Mark 51 gun directors.

Restoration of the interior spaces started, with the Sick Bay being done as a donation by the wood deck contractor.
