USS Flint (AE-32)
USS ''Flint'' (AE-32/T-AE-32) is a of the United States Navy, and was named after the sparking rock flint (not, as is commonly thought, the city of Flint, Michigan).〔US ammunition ships are named either for volcanoes, or words related to fire such as ''Nitro'' and ''Pyro''〕 ''Flint'' was constructed at the Ingalls Nuclear Shipbuilding Division, Litton Industries, Inc., Pascagoula, Mississippi. The ship was delivered to the United States Navy at Charleston, South Carolina, on 30 August 1971.
==Design==
''Flint'' is capable of underway replenishment at a sustained speed of 20 knots, which enables her to keep pace with fast moving Naval task forces. Her modern transfer-at-sea facilities included the capability of utilizing two CH-46 Sea Knight helicopters for vertical replenishment (VERTREP). Normal alongside methods were improved by the installation of a ram tension wire system called STREAM - Standard Tensioned Replenishment Alongside Method. ''Flint's'' holds were specifically configured for ease of handling, loading and stowing of missiles, rocket boosters, and all types of munitions required by the Fleet. ''Flint'' is capable of providing living accommodations for more than 400 men and women.
Several new design innovations were incorporated in ''Flint'', including a bulbous bow for better streamlined hull. Another innovation was the APS (Automated Propulsion System) essentially a central console in an air conditioned space in the engine room which gives automatic readings of the performance of the engineering plant and allowed the bridge to directly control the engines.
