USS Patricia (1919-1919).
Originally German Steamship Patricia (1899)

Patricia, a 14,446 gross ton passenger liner, was built in 1899 at Stettin, Germany, for commercial employment under the German flag. Following the World War I Armistice she was temporarily allocated to the United States for use bringing service personnel home from the former European war zone. Placed in commission in March 1919 as the U.S. Navy transport Patricia (with no identification number assigned), she made four voyages to the U.S., carrying nearly nine-thousand passengers. Decommissioned in September 1919, the ship was redelivered to Great Britain for service in their merchant marine.

This page features, and provides links to, all the views we have concerning USS Patricia.
