                      NAVAL VESSELS WILL LEAVE PORT
                      
                Seven U.S. naval reserve vessels, damaged in a 
              recent severe storm as they lay tied to a dock in 
              Pere Marquette lake, will depart Friday, weather 
              permitting, for Sturgeon Bay, Wis., to undergo 
              extensive inspection and repairs.
                In making the announcement, commanding officers
              said the vessels had not been damaged as much as
              had been feared. Most was confined to broken ribs
              and loosened planking. Temporary repairs are now
              being made, and the vessels are expected to be
              in shape for the crossing Friday, they said.
                In addition to repairs, one of the big jobs
              Wednesday was removal of ice that encrusted the
              seven ships from stem to stern. The craft have
              been in port over a week.
