Ancon, a 9332 gross ton cargo steamship, was built in 1902 at Sparrows Point, Maryland. The Navy acquired her from the U.S. Army in mid-November 1918 and converted her to a troop transport for use during the post-World War I redeployment of forces back to the U.S. from Europe. Commissioned as USS Ancon (ID # 1467) late in March 1919, she made two round-trip voyages between France and the United States. The ship was decommissioned at New York City in July 1919 and returned to the War Department.
