USS ''APc-25'' was a United States Navy APc-1 class coastal transport vessel. It was assigned to the Pacific in World War II where it transported supplies, personnel and munitions around the islands in the Southern Solomon Islands. It was under constant threat of air, sea and submarine attack. ==Class notes== On 19 January 1942, the Chief of Naval Operations directed the construction of 50 AMc coastal minesweepers, AMc 150-199. In February 1942, the Bureau of Ships issued specifications for modified design for the AMc 150-199. On 13 April 1942, the Chief of Naval Operations requested that the 50 vessels be constructed as “raider transports, AP,” for use in the South Pacific.〔()〕 On 20 April 1942, the District Craft Development Board recommended the following three uses for the redesigned APc transport vessels:〔()〕 1. Transportation of two officers and 74 men (possibly a raiding party) for maximum for each of 24 hours. 2. Transportation of two officers, 15 men, and a cargo of 1,500 cu. ft. for 24 hours. 3. Carrying a cargo of 4,000 cu. ft. (17 tons) and no passengers on a voyage of 2,500 miles. ''AMc-161'' was thus redesigned as ''APc-25''. 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「USS APc-25」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
