Eleven of the U.S. Navy's WWI era supply ships and refrigerated cargo ships had three hull islands.
To facilitate identification, these vessels have been placed in four sub-groups, consisting of two multi-ship classes and two single ships.
This page features a table (with links to individual ships) of World War I era U.S. Navy supply ships and refrigerated cargo ships with three hull islands, plus a photograph of each ship in this group.
