USS Catlin (AP-19)
The former S.S. and USS George Washington at the Philadelphia
Navy Yard in a photo dated 17 March 1941, just after being delivered
from the Maritime Commission Reserve Fleet at no cost to the
Navy for use as a Navy transport. She had been commissioned as
USS Catlin (AP-19) a few days previously but was found
unsuitable for Navy use and was decommissioned in September 1941.
After reconstruction with one smokestack she served as the Army
transport USAT George Washington.
