[StartQuote] Frank; That is not a Rhino barge, they were larger. This is an early NL Barge, here are two photos below. If you google Navy barge model, you can find a 1/72nd scale model a guy in Poland did. Barge 3 / 7 consisted of three rows of seven pontoons (including elements of the bow and stern) and propulsion module, which contained a 115 hp engine, gearbox and steering. Barge could be used to transport ammunition, fuel, equipment and even airplanes, from cargo ships to shore. Was also used as a floating gas station for LVT. These barges also formed the basis of the PT boat floating Drydock. The few NL Barges the Navy has left today are from the 1960's and are fitted with A frames and have deck mounted winches.
