    That looks a lot like Ironbottom Sound - off the Solomon Islands?

    Ok, looking at the obvious - Anonymous US Army Corps of Engineers vessel delivering an electrical substation to an inhabited area, being assisted by the tug Socrates based out of Houston, Texas.

    Educated guess says it's delivering to Texas City after the refinery fires there?

    Nope. The "substation" is part of the vessel.

    Its the Sturgis, which had a nuclear reactor/generator plant on board and supplied power in the Canal Zone for 8 years.

    I knew it looked familiar. I had a Corps of Engineers officer as one of my ROTC instructors in the late 1970s who had this photo of the wall of his office. He ahd served in the Panama Canal Engineering District and a framed and signed photo of the Sturgis was standard going away gift.

    I got to stare at that photo quite a few times while getting my ass chewed by him!

    In 1919 this vessel's crew assisted in a rescue mission.

    What is the vessel and what did the crew do?

    This guy is interesting. He's still breaking the rules by advertising, but at least his posts are still more or less on topic...
    Meddle not in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.

    Abusing Yellow is meant to be a labor of love, not something you sell to the highest bidder.
