:''Note: The , originally commissioned as the SS ''George Calvert'' (build number 2007/MC Hull 20) should not be confused with the ''SS'' George Calvert (build number 2016/MC Hull 29) which was constructed shortly thereafter.'' SS ''George Calvert'' was a Liberty ship, Maritime Commission hull number 29, built by the Bethlehem Shipbuilding Corporation at the Bethlehem-Fairfield Yard in Baltimore, Maryland, and launched on 14 March 1942. The ship served as a freighter to carry goods during World War II. She was sunk in May 1942 by a torpedo launched from a German submarine near Cuba. == Two Liberty ships with the same name == The , originally launched as the SS ''George Calvert'' (build number 2007/MC Hull 20), should not be confused with this SS ''George Calvert'' (build number 2016/MC Hull 29) which was constructed shortly thereafter. Hull number 20 was reportedly set aside after launch due to structural problems during assembly. As a result, hull number 29 was given her name. Hull number 29 was sunk in May 1942, and, as a result, when hull number 20 was turned over as "ready-for-issue" to the War Shipping Administration in 1943, there was no reason to change her name since hull number 29 no longer existed. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「SS George Calvert (MC Hull 29)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
