Critical to the Allied success in World War II was the U.S. Maritime Commission. The Maritime Commission succeeded the U.S. Shipping Board in 1936, but followed the same directives. The Maritime Commission helped to develop and construct a variety of military and civilian ships for use during the war and the Victory class was one example. The Victories were primarily a point-to-point cargo ship, but their design was suitable for conversion to a troopship. Through input from the military, the Maritime Commission created the Haskell class by taking a standard Victory ship and reconfiguring the interior to accommodate troops. The Maritime Commission’s design met the Marine Corps’ requirements for amphibious operations in the Pacific during the closing years of World War II and it helped to facilitate the end of the Pacific war.1
During the inter-war years, the U.S. Merchant Marine went through a series of fluctuations. After 1918, the majority of ships in the Merchant Marine were from the mobilization endeavor to support American troops in World War I, authorized by the United States Shipping Board. The Board approved the construction of 470 ships to support the war effort, but America’s entry into the war was short lived. Between 1918 and 1922, the Board added an additional 1,300 ships to the Merchant Marine, which became the backbone of the fleet. In the mid-1920s, U.S. shipping companies were robust, but the U.S. stock market crash in 1929 was a major setback to the maritime industry. During the “Great Depression,” many steamship companies suffered because they were unable to replace or update their aging ships – over ninety percent of the fleet was over twenty years old and had an average speed between 10-11 knots.2
In the mid-1930s, the government intervened with new legislation to aid the beleaguered maritime industry. President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s “New Deal” economic policy eventually helped to revive the Merchant Marine when Congress passed the Merchant Marine Act of 1936. The act created the U.S. Maritime Commission, superseding the U.S. Shipping Board, and it infused new capital and ideas for rebuilding the fleet. By 1937, the Maritime Commission planned a long-range construction program to build 500 ships that were both contemporary and economical over a ten-year period. In 1939, the Maritime Commission determined that the production quota of fifty ships per year too low and doubled the original number to 1,000 ships or 100 ships per year.3
Also in 1939, the war in Europe began to trouble the United States and the Maritime Commission reacted accordingly. The success of the German U-boat campaign against English shipping alarmed the United States, whose steamship companies traded with England and France. The U.S. feared that Germany might

When the United States entered into World War II, the government setup an intensive shipbuilding program. On 3 January 1942, President Roosevelt declared that America would begin building a standard 11-knot ship in mass quantity, later called the “Liberty” ship, through an “Emergency Program” guided by the Maritime Commission. The Liberties were not aesthetic or fast, but were produced in great numbers to offset the German U-boat successes in the Atlantic campaign. By the end of war, the Maritime Commission produced over 2,700 Liberty ships, but a second-generation cargo ship supplanted Liberty ships.5
In 1943, the U.S. Maritime Commission proposed the construction of a new class of cargo vessels. American designers based their design on a British fast cargo ship, designed in 1942, which could operate outside of the convoy parameters. U.S. naval architects began drawing new plans for the cargo ship around a basic design; she was 445’ long, 63’ abeam, and had a draft of 28’. Planners instituted two key requirements for the new class: the deadweight had to equal a Liberty and it needed a minimum speed of 15 knots.6
During the design phase, the Maritime Commission made several changes in the new cargo ship. Architects from Bethlehem Steel developed the arrangement plans, while the Maritime Commission began work on the stability calculations and other considerations. Early on, the Maritime Commission realized that some shipyards designated to build the new ships could not fit a 63’ beam ship in their slipways. Architects then alter the ship’s design to accommodate a 62’ beam.7
The Maritime Commission approved the new drawings for the fast cargo ship in March 1943 and scheduled production to begin in April. The Maritime Commission designated the new ships as the Victory class and changed the prefix to VC2 in April 1944. In addition to speed, another consideration for building the Victory class was postwar disposal. American planners thought that the characteristics of the Victory class would appeal to ship owners and that the steamship companies would purchase the vessels at the conclusion of hostilities. The Maritime Commission planned a high production schedule for the Victory class to replace the Liberty class, but disagreements with the War Production Board stalled construction until the end of

1943. By the end of the war, U.S. shipyards had produced 414 Victory ships – 117 ships were converted attack transports (troopships).8
The Todd Shipyard Corporation headed the first five yards approved to construct “Emergency” ships at the beginning of World War II. Todd Shipbuilding was originally a major ship repair business with locations around the United States, but with an influx of orders, the Maritime Commission had to look for new builders. Henry J. Kaiser, part owner of Todd Shipbuilding in the Seattle-Tacoma Shipbuilding Corporation, was an important part of the expansion program during the war: Kaiser’s construction group9 helped build major “New Deal” projects: “Hoover, Bonneville, and Grand Coulee dams, and the Bay Bridge from San Francisco to Oakland.” Additionally, Kaiser’s construction base of men and equipment helped forge new shipbuilding companies around the United States.10
The Oregon Shipbuilding Company was the first business out of the original five emergency yards. Kaiser had investments within this company and his son, Edgar Kaiser, managed the yard. The Maritime Commission authorized the shipyard in February 1941 and began to construct the Oregon Shipbuilding Company in the northwestern suburb of Portland, Oregon along the Willamette River. On 19 May 1941, the shipyard laid the keel of the first ship, Star of Oregon. The original project called for eight ways to construct the ships and five outfitting docks to complete the vessels, but the Maritime Commission authorized the expansion of the yard to eleven ways and four outfitting docks to meet production quotas. The shipyard consolidated two outfitting docks into one to accommodate the longer Victory ships. The anticipated cost of the Oregon Shipbuilding facility in 1941 was $7,196,000, but in actuality, the cost of the shipyard was estimated at $25,171,000 in 1944. At the height of production, the shipyard employed 33,000 men and women.11
During World War II, shipbuilders began using production line methods (prefabricated parts, assembly, construction of sections, and welding everything together), which significantly increased the quantity of ships. Additionally, the Victories also used a standardized design for all shipyards, but several different companies provided machinery. In March 1944, the Maritime Commission designated four shipyards to construct 117 VC2-S-AP5 Victory ships, and the Oregon Shipbuilding Company constructed 34 ships in that

GAGE HAER No. VA-133 Page 6 class. The shipyard completed the Gage and it was delivered to the U.S. Navy on 12 November 1944; the total production time took ninety days (sixty-two days on the way and twenty-nine days fitting out).12
Naval architects based the structure of the AP5 around a modified hull for berthing, cargo, and equipment for the assault troops. By the spring of 1944, American naval forces were preparing for the amphibious assaults in the Marianas and the timely production of troop transports would assist them with their invasion plans. Planners designed the ship to carry 1,596 troops (86 officers and 1,510 enlisted), 1,800 pounds of heavy vehicles and supplies, 25 assault boats, and 1 captain’s gig. Architects specifically designated hold four as a cargo space (134,000 cu ft.) and dispersed the remaining troop cargo at the bottom of holds one and two. Gasoline tanks in the inner bottom carried 40,000 gallons of fuel for the landing craft and vehicles, while special davits and cranes assisted the ship’s crew with the loading and unloading of their equipment. The ship’s crew (28 officers, 23 CPOs, and 451 enlisted) was large enough to allow for a timely debarkation of troops upon arrival at the landing zone.13
Designers divided the ship into six areas to accommodate the ship’s crew and the troops. The captain’s quarters were beneath the bridge and berthing for the ship’s officers were one deck below on the boat deck, complete with restrooms and showers. On the main deck, architects placed berthing for the troop officers, restrooms, shower facilities, the ship and troop officers’ mess, a galley, doctors’ offices, sick bay rooms, an operation room, and a radio room. The last berthing area for the ships’ crew and troops comprised the second and platform deck – architects placed beds four high on both levels to maximize the space available. Other amenities for the enlisted were a mess hall, showers, and toilets. The main galley was amidships on the second deck, along with preparation rooms, reefers and food storage rooms on the third deck. The ship carried a distiller onboard and could generate up 40,000 gallons of water a day. Architects placed extensive ventilation ducts throughout the ship to temper the ship’s crew and troops during the voyages in the sultry climate.14
Architects also refined the Victory class with two enhancements: higher speed and longer range. The Gage contained a Westinghouse cross-compound steam turbine with Westinghouse double-reduction gears. The engine rating was 8,500 horsepower that turned a 21’-7” propeller for a cruising speed of 15 knots and 17 knots at flank speed with a cruising range at 7,200 nautical miles. The Combustion Engineering boilers were oil fired and used forced draft water tubing with super heaters and economizers. The boilers working pressure was 465 pounds per square inch at 750˚F. Engineers spaced the frames 36” apart to strengthen the hull and improve the ship’s flexibility, which in turn reduced the stress fractures that affected the Liberty ships. The raking stem and cruiser stern promoted a more streamlined flow of water (better

During World War II, the Maritime Commission armed each ship with three types of guns (light, medium, and heavy) and positioned them around the ship to cover the four angles of attack. On the bow, architects placed a medium 40-millimeter Bofor quad mount and two more double-barrel mounts just aft on the port and starboard side atop the forecastle deck. On the boat deck were six light 20-millimeter Oerlikon anti- aircraft guns and four more above the bridge deck. One heavy 5”/38 dual-purpose gun (anti-aircraft and ship defense) was on the stern and two more double-barrel 40-millimeters overlooked the five-inch gun. Designers positioned the ammunition trucks under the bow and stern guns on the third deck and added elevators into the ship to transport the shells.16
The Maritime Commission delivered the Gage to the U.S. Navy on 4 November 1944 captained by Commander L.J. Alexanderson. She completed her shakedown cruise out of San Diego and departed for the South Pacific from San Francisco on 17 January 1945. She arrived off Guadalcanal 4 February 1945 with a complement of 298 marines and began training in amphibious warfare operations in the Solomon Islands for the next succession of battles. After staging in Ulithi for the assault on Okinawa, Gage departed and landed marine units from 3rd Battalion over the course of five days under the constant threat of Japanese kamikaze planes. After completing her assignment, she returned to San Francisco and arrived on 11 May 1945.17
Gage debarked from San Francisco in June 1945 and made several trips to the Philippine Islands transporting soldiers and equipment. Her first mission brought men from the Army Air Corps Casuals with their supplies to Manila on 12 June 1945. On 22 June 1945, Gage picked up marines in New Guinea and transported them Iloilo. After the troops debarked, Gage returned to San Francisco and while undergoing repairs at Todd’s Dry Dock in Seattle the war ended.18
During postwar activities, Gage spent the next two years transporting troops between America and the Pacific before her decommissioning. On 21 August 1946, Gage departed Seattle with 1,724 Army personnel to replace soldiers on Saipan and two weeks later transported 1,500 marines to Japan. As part of “Magic-Carpet” (repatriating American servicemen), she returned 1,700 Army combat veterans to Portland, Oregon on 14 Dec. 1945. Two more “Magic-Carpet” trips transpired in January and April 1946 and she assisted navy personnel during the occupation of China and Japan. In her final mission, she

She remained in Norfolk Naval Shipyard until her decommissioning on 26 February and the U.S. Navy deactivated her on 1 October 1958, and she went into reserve status in the James River Reserve Fleet.19
Postwar assessment by the Marine Corps concluded that the Haskell class performed as expected, but there were deficiencies. The ship was large enough to carry an entire unit, but there was not enough room on board for the command staff when operations commenced. This led to a dilemma encountered during the war; the commanding officer lost command and control over the unit for a brief period before he disembarked the ship. The staff improvised by using small radios on the deck of the ship, but they disrupted the ship’s communication system and it put the staff outside – vulnerable to the elements and the enemy. Final evaluation by the Marine Corp determined that the landing craft discharged in a protracted manner, ventilation was inadequate, and the ship did not distill enough water for the troops. Although these observations noted the problems experienced during World War II, the development and construction of new ships corrected those imperfections.20
The Gage outlived her usefulness as a military vessel, but the Haskell class proved to be practical for many decades after World War II until the arrival of jet transports. In the mid-1960s, 55 percent of the attack transports in the fleet were from the Haskell class and 100 percent of the remaining ships were in the National Defense Reserve Fleet. As the military began to see the potential use of jet transports, it signaled the end of the troopship. In March 1973, Military Sealift Command formally struck the troopships Barrett and Upshur from its roster marking the end of an era as the United States strategically shifted its reliance on jet aircraft to deploy troops overseas.21
