ap Transport Ship Explanation: I believe "Transport Ship" is correct meaning to this abbreviation. The navy uses "AP" to describe all sorts of transport ships. It would also fit into the transcript you provided as they are looking trough the periscope and determining the positions of transport ships. https://www.history.navy.mil/content/history/nhhc/research/histories/ship-histories/abbreviations.html https://wikileaks.org/wiki/US_Military_Abbreviations |
