Summary

Description
English: MARAD barge FB-62, serving as the barracks support ship for the National Defense Reserve Fleet at Suisun Bay, CA. She had probably been employed as such since the Navy transferred her to MARAD in 1962. The tug is the former Winnemucca (YTB-785), which was in the Suisun Bay NDRF from 1996 until sold by the Navy for commercial use in January 2004. The derrick barge bears a strong resemblance to the Navy's numerous seaplane wrecking barges (YSD), which were only five feet shorter than Winnemucca. The Navy disposed of four of these in the 1990s including YSD-53, transferred to MARAD, 20 April 1992. Photo No. MARAD 5492_FB-62.jpg
