The new "NATIONAL MARITIME MUSEUM of the Gulf of Mexico"
is scheduled to open in the year 2011.

Will the museum have a display that depicts the construction of 102 T2 Tankers during WWII?
They were built by the Alabama Drydock and Shipbuilding Company

One tanker was AO-141 Sappa Creek

The museum could use the model of  USS TAMALPAIS AO-96   See display MODEL

BUT; there is another class navy oiler that could used to describe the importance of oilers.
The AO-143 Class MODEL
3 were scrapped at Brownsville - 3 are in Suisun Bay
WHY! - Because they were the 1st oiler designed specifically for supporting a task force
Because they were the 1st to be designed with a streamlined silhouette.
Because they were used to develop the important techniques used for UNREP today.
