The USS Observation Island (AG-154) arrives at Port Canaveral, Florida, on May 9, 1969, following a 10-month absence for overhaul and conversion at the Norfolk Naval Ship Yard. When the U.S. Navy took possession of her in September 1956, she underwent conversion from a cargo ship to a naval vessel designed to support the fleet ballistic missile program. She was commissioned as a U.S. Navy vessel in December 1958, designated as an experimental auxiliary ship (EAG), and named the USS Observation Island. The "experimental" designation was dropped the Observation Island became a miscellaneous auxiliary ship (AG).
