The Arthur M. Huddell was towed from the James River Reserve Fleet on July 8. It will be the 72nd ship to depart the James River site since January of 2001. The Huddell is the last of the Liberty ships in the National Defense Reserve Fleet.
The Huddell is being towed to the W3 Marine facility in Norfolk, where preparations will be made to transfer it to Greece. Greek authorities plan to make it into a museum.
