George Schneider (Email to Nauticapedia 10/03/2024) stated "The deliveries from GD-Nassco continue, both the vital new oilers and the useless base ships. Recently floated out is the 7th of her class, ROBERT E SIMANEK (ESB 7), and the photo shows no name on her, but the raised lettering was still put in place. Parts were already being fabricated for ESB 8, so I'm sure she's now started in the graving dock ROBERT vacated."
