This book is about the new ship and her first deployment as a jumbo and it's our hope that you'll see what new meant to this crew. Strongly resembling the new AOR fre- plenishment oilerj type ship now being in- troduced to the Service Force, ASHTABULA is the first of a three ship class--virtually a new ship from keel to radar mast, 0 The old ASHTABULA underwent exten- S1 . . . . ve modification in 1968, when an entirely new 400-foot midbody was inserted .and welded between the original bow and original stern. As a result of her rebirth , ASHTA- BULA has increased her liquid cargo ca- pacity to six and a half million ga11eHS. Of black oil, JP-5 aviation fuel and aviation gasoline. ONE STOP Total displacement when fully loaded has been increased to over 37,000 tonS compared to the old ASHTABULA'S 25,009 tons. Keeping in step with the one stop underway replenishment concept, ASHTA' BULA can now carry over 500 tons of storeS, frozenfdry provisions, mail, fleet, frelght and 2400 tons of bombs, 1fJ1'0leCt11eS,and missiles. . Like the larger AOE, ASHTABULA.1S designed to support the aircraft carrier' task groups. With this mission, ASHTA- BULA will provide all replenishment Te' quirements of the task gI'OL1PS in the Com- bat zone.
