USAT Fred C. Ainsworth (Transport, 1943-1950)

U.S. Army Transport Fred C. Ainsworth, a 12,093-ton troop transport, was built at Pascagoula, Mississippi, in 1943. She operated in the Pacific during World War II, except for a brief voyage to Europe in mid-1945 to redeploy troops to the Pacific Theater. Fred C. Ainsworth continued her Army service after the war. When the Army's Water Transport Service was transferred to the Military Sea Transportation Service on 1 March 1950, she became the USNS Fred C. Ainsworth (T-AP-181).

This page features all our views of USAT Fred C. Ainsworth.

For additional views of and on board this ship, taken following her transfer to the Military Sea Transportation Service, see: USNS Fred C. Ainsworth (T-AP-181).
