Auxiliary Ships

The drawing for Measure 32 Design 12Ax for USS Tangier (AV-8) seaplane tenders; the original was dated June 16, 1944. The vertical colors were: dull black (BK), ocean gray (5-O) and light gray (5-L) and the deck was deck blue (20-B). This pattern on the starboard is very much like the starboard of Design 3D and the port side is almost a repeat of the starboard.

This is the only version of Design 12Ax that has been found.
