Navy foresters Trent Osmon and Rhett Steele from Naval Facilities Engineering Command Midwest's Public Works Department Crane, Production Manager Robert Murphy from the Charlestown Navy Yard, and Cmdr. James Stewart, commanding officer of Naval Support Activity Crane, assess a white oak tree set aside for future use in repairing USS Constitution. The ship's next dry docking repair availability is planned for 2014 through 2018, and will involve replacing deteriorated 40-foot-long hull planking and supporting structures with the same kind of wood used to build the ship in 1797. Crane's forest, the largest contiguous forest under single ownership in Indiana, includes nearly 150 GPS-located mature white oaks set aside for future use by Constitution.
