These drawings are black and white renderings of the original blueprints showing the VC2-S-AP3 vessel USNS Dutton after converson in 1958. USNS Bowditch and USNS Michelson were generally similar. Significant changes were made to Michelson and Dutton during yard periods in 1964 and to Bowditch in 1965, reflecting Navy living and working spaces in the former #2 and #3 holds.
