Title: USNS Josiah Willard Gibbs (T-AGOR-1)
Description: Underbody aft showing the auxiliary propeller added during her conversion to a research ship. This propeller, which resembled an internally-mounted outboard motor, could be rotated through 180 degrees and enabled the ship to maneuver precisely at speeds from dead slow to four knots. It was powered by a 200 horsepower diesel. Note the wrench in use on the port main propeller. U.S. Naval History and Heritage Command Photograph, from the Military Sealift Command Collection.
