MSTS Reserve Fleet, Everett, Washington


The MSTS Reserve Fleet Nest at the Navy Industrial Reserve Shipyard, Everett, Washington, photographed on 25 June 1957 looking to the east.
The ships, from top to bottom, are USNS General John Pope (T-AP-110), General M. C. Meigs (T-AP-116), General William Weigel (T-AP-119), General R. L. Howze (T-AP-134), Marine Phoenix (T-AP-195), Marine Adder (T-AP-193), and Marine Lynx (T-AP-194). They are in MSTS Ready Reserve status. All were moved to the Maritime Administration reserve fleets at Olympia and Astoria, Washington, in 1958.
During World War II this site was occupied by the Everett Pacific Shipbuilding and Drydock Company, which built net laying ships (AN, originally YN), non-self propelled barracks ships (APL), self-propelled covered lighters (YF), and little harbor tugs (YTL). Larger ships were repaired at the piers where the MSTS ships were later moored.
Photographed from an aircraft based at Naval Air Station, Whidbey Island, Washington.
