It is a collection of ten plates, or blueprints, glued back to back in pairs, making five pages in all. It is old and fragile. I have the complete Booklet of General Plans for USS ESTEEM (MSO438). It is dated February 2, 1958 and was done for the Long Beach Naval Shipyard by Harco Engineering Company.
All are courtesy of Engineering Officer (Chief Engineer), Stan Cochran (LTjg)(4/2000)
