Tuesday, March 24, 1970 Guantanamo Gazette Page 3 Twenty Six Year Old 'Mule' Gives Fleet Added Kick

Even mules have birthdays, but few live to the ripe old age of 26 and still have any kick left in them. The "Mule" as the USS MARIAS (AO-57) is affectionately named, celebrated her 26th birthday on February 12 and shows no signs of stepping out of harness. She is current- ly training here with the Fleet Training Group. Marias is certainly not as glamorous a ship as a sleek and powerful cruiser or a majestic carrier. In fact, the ship has no glamor at all. With its spaghetti strings of black hose hanging down from her sides and her Chinese maze of Jungle deck supports between her superstructures, it is quite cleat that the MARIAS is and always will be designed for one thing.

If she gets very thirsty, she can swallow 152-thousand barrels or six-million gallons of various petroleum products including black oil, jet fuel and aviation gasoline. If you had a car that could use all these types of fuel and a road which stretches around the world at the equator, you could, getting 20-miles per gallon, travel the world 480 times. This floating gas station is bulky, manu- vers slowly and saunters along making a max- imum of 18 knots. It isn't.very fast, but she is really in no hurry. After all, it is from her pipes that the rest of her fleet family must feed. Her interior is a plumber's delight of tanks, valves, pipes, drums and pumps.
