Carlos Carrillo (American "Liberty" Ship Troop Transport, 1943)

SS Carlos Carrillo was a civil registry troopship converted from a standard 7160 gross ton EC2-S-C1 "Liberty" ship. She was launched at Terminal Island, Los Angeles, California, in January 1943 and operated for the rest of World War II and briefly into the postwar period. The ship was scrapped at Portland, Oregon, in 1963.

This page features our only view of the SS Carlos Carrillo, a troop transport converted from a Liberty Ship.
