Nashira (AK-85)
''Nashira'' (AK-85)〔Only USS ''Enceladus'' (AK-80) of the ten ships of the ''Enceladus'' class, composed of Maritime Commission N3-M-A1 type small cargo vessels, saw significant naval service. Of the other nine, excpting USS ''Hydra'' (AK-82), all were transferred within months or days of shipyard delivery to Navy to the Army. ''Hydra'' was transferred to Army shortly after commissioning and trials. Navy had assumed the administration of contracts for these ships from the Maritime Commission on 1 January 1943 during or before construction and thus most were only administratively Navy, including names and numbers, during construction.〕 was never commissioned and thus never bore the USS designation〔http://www.history.navy.mil/faqs/faq63-1.htm | Navy History & Heritage Command - Ship Naming in the United States Navy〕 and had no significant naval service.
''Nashira'' (AK-85), named after Nashira, the third brightest star in the constellation Capricorn, was a Maritime Commission type N3-M-A1 cargo vessel originally assigned the name SS ''Josiah Paul''. The ship was transferred from the control of the Maritime Commission to the U.S. Navy 1 January 1943, prior to the start of construction.
Renamed ''Nashira'' 30 October 1943, she was laid down by Penn-Jersey Shipbuilding Corp., Camden, New Jersey, 1 November 1943; launched 23 April 1944; sponsored by Miss Patricia Palmer; delivered to the Navy 25 April 1944; and transferred to the U.S. Army the same day for use as a U.S. Army Port Repair ship. ''Nashira'' was struck from the Navy List 9 June 1944.
The Army renamed the ship ''Richard R. Arnold'' after an Engineer officer, Colonel Richard R. Arnold, on General Eisenhower's personal staff killed by a mine 6 June 1943 in North Africa while commanding the 20th Engineer Regiment.〔http://www.20thengineers.com/ww2.html | World War II - 20th Engineers〕 The ship and its crew served as part of the Army Corps of Engineers (1070th Engineer Service Detachment) in the Pacific during 1945, participated in the Battle of Luzon (Philippines), crossed the equator four times, was present in Japan after the war, and returned to San Francisco on 24 December 1945. The ship was eventually sold to Kelbar, Inc. in the late 1960s as a repair ship possibly until 1984.〔)〕
