extracted text (Extract Text): Captured by an implacable enemy that returns to the attack year after year,
this United States battleship is struggling to free herself. The great guns of the
forward turret are spiked, the decks fore and aft are held by the enemy. It is time
to souni the all: “All hands! Repel boarders!”

Such battles with Winter in his North Atlantic stronghold put hardened sea
fighters to the test. The crew work swiftly to free the decks, but it is exhausting
business in below-zero weather, when the flying spray freezes as fast as pick and ax
can clear it away, and hot water from the deck hose is a welcome reinforcement.
Many a time, in milwinter, ships come limping into port listing badly and all but
overcome by the sheer weight of ice.
