Title: MV HAUGE??? Help needed
Post by: Jens Boldt on August 04, 2015, 06:25:36 PM

Hi all,

I found these to photos in the database

http://www.shipspotting.com/gallery/photo.php?lid=387587

I found no other ship with that name here and Equasis also doesn't know a ship called Hauge.

Could this be Cpl. Louis J. Hauge Jr. (T-AK 3000) of the US Military Sealift Command, former Estelle Maersk (according to Wikipedia)?

Cheers,
Jens

Hi Jens,

I'd have to agree with your tentative ID. The design is definitely along the lines of Military Sealift Command ships, especially with the helicopter pad on the superstructure, and it looks to be anchored at Apra Harbour, Guam, where the pre-positioning ships from Saipan go to give there crews leave periods.

Compare to my photos of 1ST LT JACK LUMMUS and PFC DEWAYNE T. WILLIAMS at the same location:

Hi David,

He was a military hero, with the rank of Corporal/Korporal
