Outstanding Oceangoing Vessels of 1985 (continued) Nozzle to improve propulsion effi- ciency; the energy-saving main en- gine will be operated in a derated mode; turbogenerator and shaft generator; tower-shaped accommo- dations house to reduce wind resis- marine endeavors. The Maritime Prepositioning concept, which originated only with- in this decade, provides for highly mobile, forward location afloat stor- age of a mix of selected equipment and supplies for Marine-Air- Ground Task Forces. The Bobo and her sister ships are the only new- construction vessels of the 13 ships that will provide for the require- ments of three Marine brigades throughout the world. The Bobo has an overall length of 671 feet, beam of 105 feet 6 inches, and depth to the main deck of 82 feet. Full-load draft is 29 feet 6 inches, with a corresponding dead- weight of 22,700 long tons. Propul- sion is by a pair of Stork-Werkspoor medium-speed 18TM410 diesels, each with an output of 13,200 bhp at 580 rpm. These drive a highly tance; adaptive autopilot system; and self-polishing antifouling on the hull exterior. Cargo-handling and ship mooring operations, as well as machinery room equipment are highly auto- mated to save labor needs. The ma- chinery automation equipment qualifies the ship for the Nippon Kaiji Kyokai MOA notation for un- manned engine room. 2ND LT. JOHN P. BOBO Quincy Shipbuilding The first new-construction, pur- pose-designed Maritime Preposi- tioning Ship (MPS), the 2nd Lt. John P. Bobo, was delivered by General Dynamics Quincy Ship- building Division early this year. Named in honor of a U.S. Marine Corps Medal of Honor recipient, this vessel is the first of five ships designed and built by the Quincy shipyard for chartered service to the Military Sealift Command. The first three vessels were delivered this year; the next two are scheduled for 1986 delivery. All will be operated by American Overseas Marine Cor- poration, a General Dynamics sub- sidiary created for this and other Circle 268 on Reader Service Card 2ND LT. JOHN P.
