Where was it built

[edit]

The article on YT-142 states it was built in Washington. I saw the reference to Naval records stating it was built in Washington. But I have seen a photograph of the Keel laying ceremony in Drydock #1 of the U.S. Navy Yard, Charleston, SC dated 25 July 1939. In addition to the caption on the photo stating YT 142 painted on the keel is YT 142. Here is link to photo http://lowcountrydigital.library.cofc.edu/cdm4/item_viewer.php?CISOROOT=/PAT&CISOPTR=641&CISOBOX=1&REC=17 https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:USS_Nokomis_(YT-142)&action=edit&section=new# — Preceding unsigned comment added by CJB SC (talkcontribs) 16:52, 5 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]


Prefix

[edit]

Is this USS - was it commissioned? Or is it USNS? Or was it a "lifting" vessel? All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 12:30, 18 July 2019 (UTC).[reply]
