SS Fort Lee
SS ''Fort Lee'' was a T2 tanker built for the United States Maritime Commission during World War II. The ship was assigned by the War Shipping Administration for operation by the Bernuth Lembcke Co. and operated in the Atlantic and Mediterranean early in its career.〔
''Fort Lee'' was torpedoed and sunk by the German Kriegsmarine submarine ''U-181'' in the Indian Ocean on 2 November 1944. Nine men aboard ''Fort Lee'' were killed during the attack. Three of the four successfully launched lifeboats were rescued by other ships within two weeks. The fate of the fourth lifeboat, with 16 men aboard, was unearthed by researchers in 2000. The boat had drifted over 10 weeks before landing on Japanese-held Sumba Island with three men remaining. All three perished in custody of the Japanese.〔
