Ships Built to MARAD Designs

This table lists all the ships built since WWII to MARAD designs, by MARAD hull #.  There are eight gaps in the table and there are six ships that were built for NOAA during this period (listed at the bottom) that I cannot associate with the eight gaps.  If anyone can help to solve this mystery, please e-mail me at tim@coltoncompany.com.
