Talk:List of World War II vessel types of the United States

Accuracy

I think this list currently includes all naval designations. This list actually has the CVN, for nuclear-powered carriers, which did not exist until after WWII.Cromdog (talk) 20:18, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

Should it be renamed to something like "List of naval vessel designations" (or "Glossary of ...") then? -- Quiddity (talk) 21:36, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

The page includes many terms, and ship types, coming into use after WW II. For example, MSTS only came into being with the Department of Defense and the assumption of Army's maritime transport functions (along with most of its ships) by Navy in 1950. I would not recommend making the page inclusive of all U.S. military vessel types over history. That would become very complicated. Just the Naval designations changed frequently and Army? That is a real mess! How about period blocks selected by major period that are cross linked and perhaps covered by an overview?Palmeira (talk) 18:10, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

The List is of WWII vessel types, and does require redacting to that period. Byzerodivide (talk) 02:07, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

Exactly. As of Dec. 2009 the list is a mess of periods, reclassified designations without linkage and misleading random acronym grabs. Two examples: USF & USFS in Navy? Somewhere such an acronym may be found but not in formal or common Naval useage. Frigates were sailing days or post war. They were "brought back" with the USS Oliver Hazard Perry (FFG 7) replacing the WW II DE designation. Flagships were whatever vessel flew the flag of a flag rank officer, sometimes transferred at sea due to damage to the designated flagship. It was not a vessel type! Army was never as rigid and systematic as Navy and tended to type vessels much more by a current function than any design parameters. There were also major changes early in the war. In personal research much of that seems to correlate with the establishment of the Transportation Corps and its assuming the QMC's vessel responsibilities. The consolidation of various coastal cargo types under the FS category seems to correlate to that period. Just cleaning up Army here would be a project! Is it worth doing for a page rarely accessed or linked? Palmeira (talk) 13:40, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

My misunderstanding. That'll teach me to edit with a hangover... -- Quiddity (talk) 03:59, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

Regarding the section headings, we don't use single level =Headers= (That's reserved for the page title). See WP:Layout for related guidelines/recommendations. Thanks ^_^ -- Quiddity (talk) 03:59, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

Vessel terms

Pacific fisherman, Volume 41, Issue 7 - Volume 42, Issue 7 1943-1944 HANDBOOK Page 154 Small War Craft Illustrated and Identified Designations used by the Army and Navy to distinguish a given class of vessel are indicated below. ARMY CRAFT BY TYPE AND SYMBOL Note: Many utility craft, launches, dories and smaller types of fighting craft are not given alphabetical designations by the Army; some restricted types are not shown and the following list is subject to constant additions. The largest builder and operator of Army Vessels is the Transportation Corps; other branchs, each with many small craft employed in varied activities include the Air Force, Coast Artillery and Corps of Engineers. A "J" boat, for instance may be a 22-foot or 36-foot aircraft rescue boat in the Army Air force; a 26-foot whale boat in the Coast Artillery, or anything from a 28-foot river towboat to a 50-foot converted yacht employed for patrol and harbor work in the Transportation Corps.

Have to be careful with some of those as they changed and an absolutist approach is invalid. A good example is the FP-FH in which got changed to FS at a later date and one can occasionally find instances of the FP being applied as if it is something different. As for the list mentioned, a scan of the typewritten original is linked from "About Army Watercraft Designations" which is valid for the time it was made, but not entirely valid throughout the war. To be truly accurate any list of the sort in the main article would have to track the changes in vessel designations--and that is not trivial. Particularly with Army vessels one cannot be dogmatic. Sometimes exactly the same "type" got a different designation and the "J" "type" was a wild conglomeration as if every marina and small vessel commercial company had been raided. Any listing needs to make note of this aspect, if for nothing else than to avoid senseless arguments (I've seen them) over whether "FP" or "FS" is the correct term for a vessel. Some early FP designated vessels were under 100' and became F, others became FS and some, out in some backwater, may have remained FP for years. Palmeira (talk) 02:34, 26 January 2012 (UTC)

"Motor Supply Ships for Pacific Warfare", Marine engineering and shipbuilding abstracts: Volumes 6-10 Institute of Marine Engineers - 1945 ...p66

A large number of twin-screw shallow-draught motor cargo vessels to act as supply ships for the U.S. Army operating in the Southern Pacific are completing or building in several West Coast shipyards. They are designed for service in shallow waters, but can also be used for deep-sea towing when necessary. The ships have a length of 176ft., a beam of 32ft. and a draught of 10ft. 8in. The all-welded hull has fine lines with a raised forecastle and a main superstructure surmounted by a wheel-house aft. The propelling machinery is aft. There are two cargo holds, served by four 5-ton derricks, two over each hatch, with an additional 15-ton derrick over the after hatch. The electrically-driven deck machinery includes a vertical capstan aft for deep-sea towing service. Each ship is propelled by two 6-cylr. 600-b.h.p. two-stroke V-type General Motors engines driving the propeller shafts through gearing. The engines are of standard design, with two exhaust valves in each cylinder. They run at 700 r.p.m. and are non-reversible, a clutch and reverse gear being fitted. The service speed of the vessels is 14 knots. Electric current for auxiliary and lighting purposes is furnished by two dynamos driven by two 300-b.h.p. G.M. engines of the same type and cylinder size as the main engines. — "The Motor Ship", Vol. XXV, No. 300, January, 1945, p. 349. Title The British motor ship, Volume 25 ...

FM 55-6, Military transportation service in theaters of operations, DECEMBER 1945 ...
[p46] 47. INTRATHEATER SHIPPING AND INLAND WATERWAYS SERVICES. The Intratheater (or Coastwise) Shipping Service and the Inland Waterways Service are organized in a manner similar to the Military Railway Service and the Highway Transport Service (Secs. II and III above) and both function under the theater chief of transportation. The units required by these services are normally organized from components of the transportation service organization (T/O & E 55-500) with other units attached as required.
48. CHARACTERISTICS. a. Water transportation is characterized by relative slowness, great lift capacity, and vulnerability to attack. Its normal flexibility is limited by adequate loading and unloading facilities and the extent of development work on inland waterways to make them navigable. b. Water transportation in a theater of operations normally consists of vessels engaged in coastwise, interisland, or other intratheater shipping and of harbor craft, amphibian vehicles, and inland waterways craft allocated to, operated by, or controlled by United States Army forces on nontactical missions. Water transportation may also consist of intertheater moves by ship, the vessels being under the control of the theater chief of transportation, or only the shipments contained therein, depending on allocations and special arrangements made by the War Department and the theater commander. c. Inland waterways transportation is effected over lakes, rivers, and canals. Barges, small craft, tugs, and shallow draft lake and river steamers are the usual forms of transport. d. Coastwise shipping consists of water transport operating between ports and/or anchorages in the navigable waters touching the seacoast. Coastal vessels employed in such traffic are usually smaller and of shallower draft than oceangoing vessels, but normally larger than those employed only on inland waterways.
49. OPERATIONS. a. For a description of oceangoing transport employed by the United States Army, see FM 55-105. b. For information on small boats and amphibian trucks, see FM 55-130, and FM 55-150. c. Both inland and coastwise waterways may be operated and maintained by civilian personnel under military supervision or by Transportation Corps small boat and harbor craft units (T/O & E 55-500). Use may be made of commercial equipment if it is available or it may be replaced or supplemented by Army boats and barges transferred from the zone of the interior, or built locally.
[p54] 64. T/O UNITS. Following is a list and a brief description of Transportation Corps Tables of Organization:
a. Amphibian Truck Company (T/O & E 55-37): The primary function of this company is to transfer cargo from shipside to beach dumps in those installations where docking facilities are nonexistent or inadequate, or in landing operations on hostile shores. The company is designed and equipped to move 600 to 800 tons of cargo per 24-hour period, dependent upon the operating conditions. The company may also be used to load vessels at ports of debarkation and is often used in transferring personnel from ship to shore and shore to ship. For a detailed description of its operation, see FM 55-150.
b. Army Marine Ship Repair Company (T/O & E 55-47): This is a mobile maintenance and repair unit capable of traveling from installation to installation in a theater to perform third and minor fourth echelon maintenance and repairs to small boats, harbor craft, floating equipment, and in some cases repairs to larger vessels. The company is equipped with an especially converted ship or barge, fully equipped with machine, electric, engine, woodworking, rigging and paint shops.

FM 55-25, Ports (Oversea), Headquarters and Headquarters Companies, MAY 1945
[p9] d. Harbor Craft Companies (T/O & E 55-500). The harbor craft company is organized for the purpose of ferrying cargo to shore from freighters and transports and for all intraport water activities. The composition of the company selected from current tables will depend on the circumstances surrounding the job to be done. The number and size of tugs and towboats, barges and floating cranes will be determined by the amount and nature of the supplies and materiel to be unloaded or loaded and the facilities available. (See FM 55-130.)
[p10] h. Amphibian Truck Companies (T/O & E 55-37). These companies transfer cargo to and from shipside when pier facilities are not available. Each company is capable of operating on a 24-hour basis unloading approximately 1,000 to 1,500 long tons of mixed cargo during this period. (See FM 55-150.)

FM 55-130 Small Boats and Harbor Craft, 31 January 1944 ...
[p7] HARBOR CRAFT COMPANY The harbor craft company is a military unit organized for the purpose of ferrying to shore cargo from freighters and transports arriving in theaters of operation. The vessels may either be riding at anchor offshore in the open sea or, which is more likely, anchored in a harbor. Cargo from the ships is loaded by Transportation Corps port company personnel onto the barges. Tugs, tow boats, or marine tractors then propel these barges to the shore for unloading. Any cargo too heavy for the vessel's gear to lift is handled by the 60-ton floating crane.
[p11] SMALL BOAT COMPANY The small boat company is a military unit organized for the purpose of hauling cargo and passengers to bases along the coasts or on nearby islands within the theater.
