I think the USS Artsian ABSD-1 was painted in measure 21 or the photos imply it . The ship was a 10 section floating dry dock that each section looked ship like . All 10 sections combined measured 927ft long.Built in 1943 she was towed to the Pacific and sent to forward bases to provide
repair support for the Pacific fleet.

Midway was commissioned after the war had ended. It has to be either CV-2 Lexington or BB-62 New Jersey correct? Lexington is listed at 888' while New Jersey is the longest of the Iowa's at 887'7"?
