ship out

Charlie served at Fort Eustis, the transportation headquarters for the entire army, where all the soldiers would ship out for their assignments.

He’d been too young to serve in World War II. He’d been hit with appendicitis just as he was about to ship out to the Korean War.

That meant the ferry had to spend months in a dry dock, a narrow basin which is drained, leaving the ship out of the water and supported by blocks.

The processing sites at the Altadena Golf Course and the former Topanga Ranch Motel on Pacific Coast Highway will remain open to sort, store and ship out waste found during the Army Corps clearance, Peterson said.

As big and as tough as Clement was in those early days, he was slowly chewed up by the pressure of trying to steer the ship out of the dock when it was already tied to the harbour wall.
