Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The U.S. Military Sea Transport Service (MSTS) Reserve Fleet at the Navy Industrial Reserve Shipyard, Everett, Washington (USA), on 25 June 1957, looking to the west. The ships, from bottom to top, are:
  • USNS General John Pope (T-AP-110),
  • USNS General M. C. Meigs (T-AP-116),
  • USNS General William Weigel (T-AP-119),
  • USNS General R. L. Howze (T-AP-134),
  • USNS Marine Phoenix (T-AP-195),
  • USNS Marine Adder (T-AP-193), and
  • USNS Marine Lynx (T-AP-194).

The ships were in MSTS Ready Reserve status. All were moved to the Maritime Administration reserve fleets at Olympia and Astoria, Washington, in 1958. During World War II, this site was occupied by the Everett Pacific Shipbuilding and Drydock Company, which built net laying ships (AN, originally YN), non-self propelled barracks ships (APL), self-propelled covered lighters (YF), and little harbor tugs (YTL). Larger ships were repaired at the piers where the MSTS ships were later moored.

The photo was taken from an aircraft based at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, Washington (USA).
