I think a floating freshwater distillery would make an interesting model. Accourding to Navsource.org two t-2 tankers were converted this way: AW-3 USS Pasig (ex AO-91) and AW-4 USS Abatan (ex AO-92) These ships had a tower construction fitted on their decks



Two other freshwater distilling ships being interesting as well, as these were originally built as Liberty tankers, (a small batch of Liberty ships were built as tankers), but out of topic at the moment.

I just uploaded 4 T2 models and some PT boats to add as deck cargo if desired:
AO-76 USS Schuylkill in MS 32 - 5AO
AO-80 USS Escambia in MS 32 - 7AO
AO-82 USS Cahaba in MS 21
USMC Fallen Timbers in solid ocean gray with deck blue decks.
ELCO 80-ft PT boats (full hull as deck cargo, plus waterline)

I misidentified AO-76 Schuylkill as a USMC (US Maritime Commission) ship. My bad. Not sure how to correct this.

Very nice. Looking forward to see them.
Of course I like the PT boats as cargo :-),
or escorts!

Wayne,
The files are approved with the exception of the PT boats. There
was no file with it.
