Class Notes:
All but AN 93 (MDAP) built as offshore procurement (OSP). All dropped from NVR main listing during 1959 or 1960 although no formal strike dates have been found. The armament is from photos of AN 93 which closely resemble photos of PASSAIC (AN 87). The later OSP ships probably differed in details.
