[Complete] Scene Caption: Mr. Bruce Gagne (left) and Ms. Amy K. Hunt (operating computer) brief foreign service dignitaries on the layout and load capacity for the United States Naval Ship (USNS) Gordon (T-AKR 296). Mr. Gagne and Ms. Hunt are Systems Analysts for Stanley Associates of Alexandria, Virginia, which designed and implemented a revolutionary cargo locating and tracking system for large ships. USNS Gordon is docked at Naval Weapons Station, Charleston, South Carolina, and is being loaded for the first time since being delivered to the United States Navy on August 23, 1996. USNS Gordon is a former commercial tanker and underwent conversion to United States Navy Military Sealift Command specifications to make it ideal for the loading, transport and unloading of United States Army and United States Marine Corps combat equipment. The ship can carry an entire US Army Armor Task Force, including up to 58 tanks, 48 other tracked vehicles and more than 900 trucks and other wheeled vehicles. It is more than 300 yards long and has a storage capacity of more than 300,000 square feet. The ship is named in honor of MASTER Sergeant Gary I. Gordon, US Army, who was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor in 1994 for his gallantry in action in Mogadishu, Somalia.
