Type C3-class ships were the third type of cargo ship designed by the United States Maritime Commission (MARCOM) in the late 1930s. As it had done with the Type C1 ships and Type C2 ships, MARCOM circulated preliminary plans for comment. The design presented was not specific to any service or trade route, but was a general purpose ship that could be modified for specific uses. The C3 was larger and faster than the C1 and C2 contemporaries, measuring from stem to stern (vs. for the C2), and designed to make (vs. for the C2). Like the C2, it had five cargo holds. A total of 465 of these ships were built between 1940 and 1947. During World War II, many C3 ships were converted to naval uses, particularly as s, and as ''Windsor'' class and ''Bayfield'' class attack transports, ''Klondike''-class-destroyer tenders, submarine tenders, and seaplane tenders. ==See also== * Type C1 ship * Type C2 ship * Type C4 ship * T2 tanker * Liberty ship * Victory ship * Hog Islander * U.S. Merchant Marine Academy 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「Type C3-class ship」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
