Photo #: NH 105293
USS Kanawha (Fuel Ship # 13, later AO-1)
Photographed circa 1917 in her original configuration with the
bridge near the bow.
This ship was a sister to USS Maumee except that Kanawha
had standard steam propulsion instead of experimental diesels.
In both ships the bridge soon had to be moved aft of the foremast.
Donation of Captain Stephen S. Roberts, USNR (Retired), 2007.
