Clearly seen is the asymmetrical array of 5"/38 and 5"/25 guns mounted in the old barbettes and along the sides of the ship. At this time, the ship had a dual purpose; as a gunnery training vessel and as a target vessel. In the target vessel role, all of the guns and gun directors were cover with protective wooden sheds which were put in place by the cranes the ship carried. She has been rearmed and partially repainted into "Measure 1" camouflage. Ex-USS Aroostook (AK-44) is being disassembled in the background.

A major rebuild carried out in 1961 for Phase I of Project Mohole involved drilling near Guadalupe Island, off the coast of Mexico, in spring of 1961 for research purposes. The ship was fitted with experimental deep-water drilling equipment and a dynamic positioning system invented for the occasion by Willard Bascom, oceanographer and project director. In April the rig succeeded in drilling over 600 feet into the seafloor beneath nearly 12,000 feet of water -- approximately 30 times the then-existing drilling record. This was the genesis of modern offshore drilling in the Gulf of Mexico and worldwide. Later Named Sucia, still extant 1986 Specifications Displacement unknown Length 260' Beam 48' Draft unknown Capacity 2000 tons Submitted by Jim Swank, photos from National Academies of Science website. |
