The wife and I took a trip on the Mt. Vernon Victory in the 80's - one
of the last Onasis tankers in service at the time. A friend of mine
was the Captain.
As I remember, she was one of the old midship house tankers, built on gov'ment
specs. There were a number of them around, all of which had a good turn of
speed and some better than average accomodations, for US ships (which normally
have worse than average accomodations ..... kinda like living in an
institution).
Exactomundo!!!!!!
The trip was a lot of fun - we had a great time.
Later,
Tom
