Escape (ARS-6) in the Napa River, CA., 11 November 1943, about a week before commissioning. This ship,
the second of this type ordered for the US Navy, was completed with a modified rig aft consisting of a single kingpost with two longer booms. One of the booms was
soon deleted, and this became the standard rig for the remainder of the class.
