Derrick Barges (YD)

Many of the Navy's derrick barges were originally built for the Army, which contracted for 345 in total in the course of WWII, and transferred to the Navy, and the records that exist are very confusing. For post-war construction, click here. As a result, there are many gaps and questions in this table. If anyone can help improve it, please email info@navalmarinearchive.com.
