The U.S. Navy announced it has taken delivery of its sixth Auxiliary Personnel Lighter–Small (APL) Class berthing and messing barge from Bollinger Shipyards following the recent successful completion of acceptance trials.

The 269'x69' APL 72 will be used by the Navy to house duty crewmembers while ships are in port for maintenance availabilities and inter-deployment training cycles. APLs are mobile and can be towed to new bases or shipyards to support changing fleet requirements, but also offer potential use for humanitarian missions and other temporary assignments.
