Description

Ported to OBJ from the model included in the game data for 1914: Shells of Fury by Rondomedia. Preview picture posed in XNALara XPS. NO MODEL DOWNLOAD.

USS Kanawha (AO-1) was the first purpose-built fleet replenishment oiler for the U.S. Navy. Her acquisition was a telling sign of the U.S. Navy's transition from oil to coal for fuel fleetwide (just like all of the other navies in the world were doing back then), and she wound up becoming the first in a class of six such vessels supporting U.S. Navy fleet operations during the World War I era and the interwar period. Kanawaha herself was active in both World Wars, eventually being lost in an attack by Japanese torpedo bombers at Tulagi harbor on 7 April 1943. Two of her sister ships were lost during World War II, with three surviving to be either sold or scrapped after World War II due to their extreme age. Two other ships have since shared the name: a WW2-era gasoline tanker, and a modern-day Henry J. Kaiser class fleet replenishment vessel.

This is the game stock oiler for 1914: Shells of Fury. It's actually a pretty good model, all things considered, and it's currently unique in its inclusion in a retail video game at this time if I'm not mistaken - leastways the ones I've checked. That's why I grabbed and ported it for all of you. Hey, they needed fleet oilers back in the World War I era just like they do today! Now you've got one too for you own World War I themed 3D projects or you can follow its real life example and use it as an older U.S. or Allied oiler in a World War II themed 3D project (chuckle).
