The Type C4 class ship were the largest cargo ships built by the United States Maritime Commission (MARCOM) during World War II. The design was originally developed for the American-Hawaiian Lines in 1941, but in late 1941 the plans were taken over by the MARCOM. Seventy-five ships were built as cargo and troopships in three shipyards: Kaiser Richmond, CA (35 ships), Kaiser Vancouver, WA (20 ships) and Sun SB & DD in Chester PA (20 ships). All ships were capable of 17 knots, driven by a single screw steam turbine generating 9,900 shp. Among the variations of the design were the Haven class hospital ship. They were followed post-war by thirty-seven of the larger C4-S-1 class, also known as the ''Mariner'' class.〔http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/ship/mariner.htm〕 ==List of Type C4 class ships== 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 C4-class ship」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
