	USS Neosho (AO-23) Home Page
		Bill, a Fireman Third Class, worked in the ship's engine room and was very fond of the ship and its crew, a fact that was plainly obvious to me more than 60 years later when his eyes began to mist over as he described his experiences on the Neosho.
		The Neosho was the only ship berthed on "Battleship Row" that terrible morning which was not damaged, and Bill, at his battle station with the 3-inch gun on the bow, witnessed the entire attack.
		Of the 293 men onboard the ship before the attack, 20 men were confirmed dead and 158 men were missing, many of whom were on the rafts that had drifted away from the ship.

		On that return, he was assigned as the Executive Officer and Chief Engineer on the Navy’s first diesel-powered surface ship, the oiler USS Maumee (AO-2), then under completion at the Brooklyn Navy Yard.
		Maumee was a good-sized ship for her time, 14,500 tons, and her engines were very large, developing 2,500 horsepower each.

	Project Liberty Ship
		The oiler had the burden of being sure there was enough oil on the bearings to keep them cool, but for economic reasons he had to limit his use of oil or the chief engineer would become contentious.
		Each oiler was supplied with a fixed amount of oil for his watch, but he would keep a private supply of oil to use to flood a bearing that might have gotten warm; acquired by economizing a little each watch and saving the overage.
		The oilers and firemen were almost invariably helpful in teaching the wipers their respective duties in the assumption that the wiper was interested in moving up to fireman or oiler.

	UNREP
		As we approach the oiler is identified on the radar and her course and speed are calculated.
		As we close in the oiler signals the Romeo Corpen (replenishment course) and the speed she intends to conduct the operation at.
		Essentially the ship goes back to routine with the exception of the deck force who take care of cleaning up and storing gear at the three stations and the supply department is busy moving the supplies to their final destination.

	Project Liberty Ship (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		The oiler was primarily responsible for this but as he had to make the rounds, the engineer had to spell him.
		The Liberty Ship boilers were designed so the water was in tubes located in the furnace, and the heated water discharged steam to a cylindrical tank that acted to separate water and steam.
		The nets were probably installed on ships carrying special cargo and possibly special circumstances but they slowed a ship to a point that their value was marginal at best and they never came into general use.

	USS Elokomin (AO 55) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Designed by the U.S. Maritime Commission, the ship was a large twin screw tanker, powered by two steam turbines of 6750 horse-power each, and was of the continuous single deck type, the profile presenting the usual tanker arrangement of poop, bridge and forecastle with machinery and boilers located abaft the cargo tanks.
		The ship’s first cruise was a short voyage from Baltimore to Norfolk, where she was fitted out and the finishing touches added.
		The ship never spent more than two days in any of the other ports....several times an arrival would be made at Tangiers or Gibraltar in the morning, give one liberty party until 2 p.m., then the other until 7 p.m.

	Aucilla
		The oiler remained at Sparrows Point until 28 December at which time she got underway for Portsmouth, Va. She arrived at the Norfolk Navy Yard on the 29th and began training the crew at battle stations and loading ammunition.
		The oiler performed extensive occupation duty at various locations in the Far East between the end of the war and the summer of 1947.

	Tappahannock
		The oiler remained, as station tanker, at the one-time German colonial showplace city until 26 April 1946, when she got underway for the Near East to load a cargo of oil.
		The oiler returned to the Mediterranean soon thereafter, transited that body of water and the Suez Canal, and arrived at the Persian Gulf port of Bahrain on 5 April.
		The oiler, by now one of the oldest active-duty ships on the Navy list, was clearly aging; and replacements for many of her worn-out parts were hard to find or unavailable.

	Reducing the Risk of Unreps
		In that mishap, the seas and winds were such that the helmsman aboard the AOE was continually using left rudder to keep his ship on the designated replenishment course.
		With the "oiler" underway, Vincennes made her approach alongside the trailing line of barrels and maintained unrep speeds and distances.
		Members of the ship-training team (STT) then put the rudder over, simulating a casualty that sent the ship veering toward the "oiler." When the ship hit any of the barrels, the conning officer ordered, "All back full," and steered away from the barrels to avoid fouling the line.
