Drawing

This is what the drawing for Measure 31a Design 17F for the Haskell class of attack transports using a (VC2-S-AP5) maritime hull may have looked like. This was probably dated September or November 1944. This design used the vertical colors for Measure 31a: navy blue (5-N), ocean gray (5-O) and haze gray (5-H) with deck blue (20-B) for the horizontal color.

The Design 17F drawing was sent to APA-228 on November 7, 1944, and later to APA-144 and APA-145 on December 9,1944. No archived copy of this design has yet been found.

Original drawing source: NARA 80-G-000000.
