Notation

Design Date

Paint Date

Indicates the earliest date that memos or photos confirm painting in that design.

Not applicable.

NAYF

No assignment yet found.

Comm.

Indicates date commissioned, if after 1/1/45, ship may not have worn Measure 31-32-33 while commissioned. Exceptions were landing craft in Measure 31.

Footnotes

AK-22 was sent 31a/19F on 11/18/44, but it was too late. Norfolk had already painted AK-22 in an adapted 32/8T by 11/29/44.

A memo from Espiritu Santo to BuShips identified AK-121 as having been repainted in 32/1F on 1/7/45.

Baltimore Shipyard was sent drawings labeled Measure 32 Design 1F for AK-225 and Measure 33 Design 1F for AK-226 at the same time on August 24, 1944. AK-225 seems to have painted in 33/1F as well as AK-226, possibly by mistake.

AKA-6 was sent 32/13F through San Francisco Shipyard on 7/19/44, but the attached memo misidentified the drawing as 32/16F (sic) since by 8/31/44 AKA-6 was painted in 32/13F.

Norfolk reported to BuShips on 7/17/44 that AKS-7 had been painted in 32/1F using the plan for AKN-1.
