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.
