Movement of Weapons by the USS Curtiss
Prior to the Sandstone Operation, Shop 18 of the USS. Curtiss was
modified to transport the weapons to be used on that operation. -Since then
the size and configuration of the weapons have greatly changed, causing the
fittings in Shop 18 to become obsolete.
If the USS Curtiss continues to be used for transporting weapons, and
weapon components, consideration should be given to modifying hold space
in order that it can be utilized more efficiently.
