Following the successful righting (rotation to upright) of the capsized Oklahoma, an attempt was made to right the Utah by the same parbuckling method using 17 winches. As Utah was rotated, she did not grip the harbor bottom, and slid towards Ford Island. The Utah recovery effort was abandoned, with Utah rotated 38 degrees from horizontal.

The U.S. Navy training ship USS Utah (AG-16) at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, Bremerton, Washington (USA), 18 August 1941. She has been rearmed and partially repainted into Measure 1 camouflage. The U.S. Navy lighter YF-233 is alongside, and USS Aroostook (AK-44) is being disassembled in the background. I consider this a real great pictures, so much detail if you downloaded in high resolution.
