USN:
Essex-class aircraft carrier USS Intrepid (CV-11) being secured to Lambert's Point Deperming Station at Lambert's Point, Norfolk, VA on September 11, 1943. The process reduced the ship's magnetic signature to make it less susceptible to magnetic mines. Note the ship's waterline is marked on the flight deck.
