ADDITIONAL DEEP SEA ANCHORING OF THE USNS J. W. GIBBS, T-AGOR-1.
Abstract
An earlier report describes the winch, ground tackle, wire rope and methods used in anchoring the 310 ft long USNS J. W. GIBBS, AGOR-1. A number of catenary curves covering ropes of various weights was included. In the initial report, emphasis was placed on anchorings utilizing 5/8 in. diameter, extra improved plow steel wire rope with an independent wire rope core. Additional anchorings using this construction of rope, as well as later experiences covering anchorings on armored cable and 3 x 19 wire rope which was recently developed by the industry, are covered by this report. Catenary curves covering cables and ropes used in later anchorings are included. (Author)
