U. SVERDRUP General Comments: patriot.net...Agor.htm. H. U. Sverdrup (built for Norway): This is probably a similar case to AGOR 26 (below) in which a vessel under construction was assigned the AGOR designation for administrative purposes. The vessel is described in the 1968-69 Jane's as being laid down in September 1959 and launched February 1960. Construction was by Mekaniske Verksted, Trondheim, financed by the U. S. Mutual Weapon Development Program and operated by Norwegian Defense Research Establishment. Specifications are unlike any U. S. AGOR: welded steel hull, controllable pitch propeller, 127.7 oa X 111.5 X 13, 11.5 knots, 400 tons displacement, 10 crew, 9 scientists. A note is made that She does not belong to the Royal Norwegian Navy, but is a Defense project. The photo shows a classic north Atlantic trawler type vessel with a whale back bow. --- http://shipbuildinghistory.com/history/smallships/auxresearch.htm Confirmed by NOAA 2012-02-15 and reconfirmed on 2012-05-14. |
