Canibas, a 6846 gross ton (13,910-tons displacement) civilian freighter, was built in 1918 at Bath, Maine, for the United States Shipping Board. Transferred to the Navy in September 1918, she was immediately placed in commission as USS Canibas (ID # 3401) and assigned to the Naval Overseas Transportation Service. Between late September 1918 and late May 1919 the ship completed three round-trip voyages between the East Coast and European ports, carrying cargo to support U.S. forces overseas. Canibas was decommissioned at Brooklyn, New York, in early June 1919 and returned to the Shipping Board.
