Avondale Records Good

Year In 1992

Milestone accomplishments at

Avondale's Shipyards Division dur- ing 1992 included two keel layings, three launchings, five builder's tri- als, three acceptance trials, and de- liveries of five ships and one floating prison. The ships delivered were the USNS Bighorn (T-AO 198),

USNS Guadalupe (T-AO 200), USS

Ashland (LSD 48), andthejumboized

USS Cimarron (AO 177) and USS

Platte (AO 186). Delivered to the

City of New York was the floating prison Vernon C. Bain. Avondale's

Boat Division delivered the towboat,

Elizabeth Dewey, and the tug, Capt.

Bud Bisso. Another highlight was the christening of T-AGS 45, an oceanographic survey ship which was built by Avondale in 1957 as an

Arctic supply vessel and converted in 1965 to an oceanographic research vessel. The Platte was the fifth and final AO to be jumboized at Avon- dale, by the addition of a 108-foot parallel midbody section.

Avondale Industries is a leading marine fabricator, which also spe- cializes in boat construction and is a major repair contractor for commer- cial and Navy ships.

The Derwent, a Damen Stan Tug 1605

A pilot landing area is located on the foredeck, with a cut-away bul- wark and rubber-D fendering.

The tug is propelled by twin Cum- mins NT-885-M main engines which produce 558 bkW at 2,100 rpm and drive 4.3-foot propellers in nozzles.

This configuration gives the tug a bollard pull of approximately 10.1 tons and a speed of 9.4 knots.

The Derwent is also fitted with a 3.5-ton capacity hydraulic winch, which together with an A-frame enables the vessel to carry out plough dredging work.

Electronics equipment includes a

Furuno 1930 daylight radar, a

Furuno FE-4300 echosounder and a

Sailor RT 2048 VHF.
