Random Ship Commissionings In 1918 (52 items)report

About This Tool

In 1918, the World War had just ended. America’s shipping industry was retooled for a time when there was a shortage of merchant ships, shipyard workers and shipyards. Many of the ships were built on Pig Island in Philadelphia, where the American International Shipyard company signed a contract with the United States government to build and operate a new shipyard. With 50 slipways, Pig Island became the world’s largest shipyard, specializing in the construction of standardized cargo ships. In the same year, a total of 52 ships were debugged and some of them were put into service. And this is some of the detailed information recorded in this random tool, for the convenience of further inspection.

Many of the ships tested in 1918 would later become boosters of the American shipbuilding industry. In the generator, we can find out in detail the exact time, operator, name, number, class and type of each commissioning vessel in that year. Of course, not every vessel passed the commissioning test successfully, part of the repeated debugging after many times can not meet the requirements of the operation, can only be scrapped, back to repair.
