    Default Question concerning AND

    Greetings, I have been researching the ships that my dad served on as an American Merchant Marine during WW2. Perhaps someone here may know what is exactly meant when an American Merchant Ship was described as being equipped with an AND.

    Thank you.

    By the way, my last name is PENNY. Looks like I hit the n, one time to many!
