USS Lejeune (AP-74) Near the Norfolk Navy Yard on 15 May 1944 after completing conversion. The dummy smokestack has been cut down to a stump. Most of the effort in this major conversion project went into replacing the original propulsion plant, thoroughly sabotaged by the ship's German crew, with a plant similar to that used in the Navy's Ashtabula (AO-51) class oilers.
