Notice of Availability for Donation of 

the Test Craft Ex-SEA SHADOW (IX 

529) and the Hughes Mining Barge 

(HMB–1) 

AGENCY: Department of the Navy, DoD. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Department of the Navy 

(DoN) hereby gives notice of the 

availability for donation, under the 

authority of 10 U.S.C. 7306, of the test 

craft ex-SEA SHADOW (IX 529) and the 

Hughes Mining Barge (HMB–1), both 

located at the Maritime 

Administration’s Suisun Bay National 

Defense Reserve Fleet, Benicia, CA. 

Availability for donation was previously 

announced in a Federal Register Notice 

of Availability dated September 14, 

2006. DoN is revising the requirement to 

display both ex-SEA SHADOW and the 

HMB–1 either individually or together 

as a single unit as a static museum/ 

memorial. This notice cancels and 

supersedes the Federal Register Notice 

of Availability dated September 14, 

2006, in Vol. 71, No. 178, of the Federal 

Register. 

Ex-SEA SHADOW is contained inside 

HMB–1, which is a covered floating drydock, and is being offered for donation 

as a single unit. The donee may display 

the two vessels as currently configured 

as a single unit, or display only ex-SEA 

SHADOW as a public museum and 

reactivate the HMB–1 for commercial 

use. The Navy will consider 

applications from municipalities and 

eligible U.S. non-profit organizations 

(the lead organization) who have 

partnered with industry. The lead
