Title: USNS General William O. Darby
Description: (T-AP-127) Soldiers settling into a troop compartment for a seven day voyage to Germany for duty. The ship had just been redecorated to improve comfort for military personnel and their families traveling to Germany. Enhancements in the troop compartment included new foam rubber mattresses, semi-recessed flourescent lighting, greater space, and new lockers for valuables. This refurbishment probably occurred in the mid or late 1950s. U.S. Naval History and Heritage Command Photograph, from the Military Sealift Command collection.
