Navy Military Photos and Blueprints/Plans

I picked up a box of pictures and plans/blueprints from old Navy boats including plans/prints for the Aluminaut. Are the plans resellable without being arrested for being a spy or something?

If they're old enough no one's going to care. WWII era and earlier craft ought to be pretty safe. The Aluminaut is in a museum, so chances are they have those plans in the gift shop.

 

Thanks Evelyb30

 

Hi! Since I am interested in Navy stuff would you post a couple of pictures please?

 

I second that... pictures are always welcome. I don't have a particular interest in Navy things, but this sounds interesting.

 

Ok give me a few minutes

 

Ok Pictures of the boats are actual photos.

 

The Aluminaut sounds really interesting... I had not heard of it before. Built in the 1960s.

 

Excellent! Thank you!!!

 

I think I will group the 2 navy boat photos in an auction. I also have other photos...will post for help on those

 

Do you mean an auction here?
I will help best I can.
The Aluminaut was the first submersible.

 

Ok the very 1st pic I posted is the Charles E. Kohlhepp. That is a steel coal barge launched May 8, 1956 for Seargent Line Corp. Navy related? Dunno Yet. Here are the rest A tug for or named Fire Island.. The Chester Harding..tug boat pulling Southern Cross..The Prospect..These pics were in the same box as all the plans/navy stuff. Sorry to take up so much space.

 

Landing Craft, Utility - LCU
The LCU-1466 class, of which 142 were built, were 119 feet in LOA and 180 tons light displacement.
The two LCUs pictured are>
TYPE/HULL# / BUILDER / OWNER / NAME / FY /BUILT/ DISPOSITION
LCU 1490 Island Dockyard U.S. Navy No name 52 1953 To NCDoF
LCU 1491 Island Dockyard U.S. Navy No name 52 1953 YFU 95 1972, to Spain

 

The Navy shouldn't have needed coal anymore by the time the barge was built.

 

Thanks King...working on google images of the other stuff

 

I love! the little car ferry "Prospect."

I'm getting a Hudson River feeling about these. The big bridge and shore line details in the pictures of "Fire Island" are definitely NOT in the area of the actual island.

 

And btw, it's the Fire Island that is pulling the barge Southern Cross, I believe.

 

By the way.... There is a great submarine museum here near Seattle that may love to have the Aluminaut plans but she is apparently here> http://www.smv.org/visit/exhibits/exhibit-details/reynolds-aluminaut
