Summary edit

Description U.S. Navy sailors paint the forward stack of the troop transport USS General J.C. Breckinridge (AP-176). In October 1949 all the ships in the Naval Transportation Service were reassigned to the newly created Military Sea Transportation Service (MSTS). As a ship operationally subordinate to MSTS she was redesignated T-AP-176, but because she was a commissioned vessel with a Navy, not civilian, crew, General J.C. Breckinridge retained the designation "USS" instead of becoming "USNS."
