NRP Almirante Gago Coutinho (A523) is a ship of the Portuguese Navy' Dom Carlos I-class survey vessels (ex-US Script error: No such module "WPSHIPS utilities". adapted in Portugal for the execution of hydrography and oceanography surveys). Before transfer to the Portuguese Navy, Almirante Gago Coutinho was formerly USNS Assurance (T-AGOS-5) of the United States Navy.
Design
The Script error: No such module "WPSHIPS utilities".s were succeeded by the longer Script error: No such module "WPSHIPS utilities".. Assurance had an overall length of Script error: No such module "convert". and a length of Script error: No such module "convert". at its waterline. It had a beam of Script error: No such module "convert". and a draft of Script error: No such module "convert".. The surveillance ship had a displacement of Script error: No such module "convert". at light load and Script error: No such module "convert". at full load. It was powered by a diesel-electric system of four Caterpillar D-398 diesel-powered generators and two General Electric Script error: No such module "convert". electric motors. This produced a total of Script error: No such module "convert". that drove two shafts. It had a gross register tonnage of 1,584 tons and a deadweight tonnage of 786 tons.[1]
The Stalwart-class ocean surveillance ships had maximum speeds of Script error: No such module "convert".. They were built to be fitted with the Surveillance Towed Array Sensor System (SURTASS) system. The ship had an endurance of thirty days. It had a range of Script error: No such module "convert". and a speed of Script error: No such module "convert".. Its complement was between thirty-two and forty-seven. Its hull design was similar to that of the Script error: No such module "WPSHIPS utilities".s.[1]
