In Pioneer design all curves have been eliminated from purely functional series of vessels to save cost and speed production; there are four basic types, ranging from 13,600 to 20,800 tons, for which details are tabulated; hull is of seven prefabricated parts, including central rectangular section with identical sections adjoining it fore and aft and two further specially shaped sections at each end incorporating bow and stern; additional rectangular sections are worked in forward of central section to provide larger alternatives.
