Official Drawings & Photos of Historic US Auxiliaries

Post by dhenning »

Stumbled across this website when searching for drawings of an ARL landing craft repair ship. Searched and searched and finally found something. Looks like the mother lode for transports, repairs ships, oilers, etc.

Had searched and searched and never found anything. Had installed Norton's Safe Search for my kids and tried it and found this site! Have had issues trying to print out the plans on the PDF files, but might try it off a flash drive at Office Depot.

Nice find. I remember seeing some American Racer class ships going up the Scheldt in the late 70s/ early 80s, possibly under charter for the Pentagon. They were the last US build breakbulk liners and IMHO very beautiful ships.
