USS ''Salvor'' (ARS-52) is a , the second United States Navy ship of that name. ''Salvor'' was laid down on 16 September 1983 by Peterson Builders, Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin; launched on 28 July 1984; and commissioned on 14 June 1986. ''Salvor'' is the third ship of the auxiliary rescue and salvage class of vessel constructed for the US Navy. The rugged construction of this steel-hulled vessel, combined with her speed and endurance, make ''Salvor'' well-suited for rescue and salvage operations throughout the world. The hull below the waterline is ice-strengthened. Her propulsion plant can develop 4200 shaft horsepower with four Caterpillar 399 diesel engines coupled in pairs to two shafts. She is fitted with a Controllable Reversible Pitch (CRP) propeller within a Kort nozzle on each shaft. The CRP propeller/Kort nozzle combination produces greater thrust and more maneuverability control than conventional propellers. ''Salvor'' is also configured with a bow thruster which provides athwartship thrust for additional control of the bow when the ship's speed is less than five knots (9 km/h). In 1995 and again in 2000, ''Salvor'' was the United States Pacific Fleet's winner of the Marjorie Sterrett Battleship Fund Award for most battle-ready ship of her type. USS ''Salvor'' was decommissioned and transferred to the Military Sealift Command in January 2007.〔http://www.navy.mil/submit/display.asp?story_id=27363 USS Salvor Decommissions, Transfers to MSC Story Number: NNS070119-05Release Date: 1/19/2007 2:56:00 PM By Mass Communication Specialist 1st Class (SW/AW) Keith Jones, Fleet Public Affairs Center Detachment Hawaii〕 ''Salvor'' was redesignated as USNS ''Salvor'' (T-ARS 52).〔http://www.msc.navy.mil/inventory/ships.asp?ship=182 MSC Ship Inventory Rescue Salvage Ships〕〔http://www.nvr.navy.mil/nvrships/details/ARS52.htm Naval Vessel Register USNS Salvor USNS SALVOR (T-ARS 52) Salvage Ship〕 The ship has undergone modifications for civilian crewing as well as automation and control system upgrades at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard. ==Mission and capabilities== Like all Safeguard class rescue and salvage ships, ''Salvor'' serves as an element of the United States Navy's Combat Logistics Support Force and provides rescue and salvage services to the fleet at sea. She also supported the protection of forces ashore through post-assault salvage operations in close proximity to the shore. She is designed to perform combat salvage, lifting, towing, off-ship firefighting, manned diving operations, and emergency repairs to stranded or disabled vessels.〔http://www.history.navy.mil/shiphist/s/ars-52/1986.pdf USS Salvor Command History 1986〕〔http://www.history.navy.mil/shiphist/g/ars-53/2002.pdf USS Grapple Command History 2002〕〔US Navy Fact File: Rescue and Salvage Ships T-ARS〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「USNS Salvor (T-ARS-52)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
