This is a barracks barge, used to house crews when the quarters on a Navy ship are uninhabitable. This one was built by Nashville Bridge Co. in 1944, and was begun as YFN 609. The 261-foot hull was the same for both the YFN(b) design and the APL, so in a few cases such as this, the APL house was built on a YFN hull.
