USS Arizonan (ID-4542A)
USS ''Arizonan'' (ID-4542A), also written ID-4542-A〔The designation "ID-4254-A" for her at NavSource Online (see http://www.navsource.org/archives/12/174542a.htm) almost certainly is a typographical error.〕 was a United States Navy cargo ship and troop transport in commission from 1918 to 1919.
==Construction and commercial service, 1902-1918==
''Arizonan'' was launched in 1902 at San Francisco, California, by the Union Iron Works as the commercial cargo ship SS ''Arizonan'' for the American-Hawaiian Steamship Company. She was completed early in 1903 and entered commercial service. ''Arizonan'' and her sister ship SS ''Alaskan''—which later served in the U.S. Navy as USS ''Alaskan'' (ID-4542)—represented, according to a contemporary account, the "most advanced practice in the construction of ocean-going freighters and ... a most important addition to the American merchant marine."〔This quote, from ''Alaskan''s ''Dictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships'' entry at http://www.history.navy.mil/danfs/a5/alaskan.htm, is unattributed.〕 Intended exclusively for carrying freight, ''Arizonan'' was designed as a very strong ship with a large stowage capacity.
After the United States entered World War I in 1917, ''Arizonan'' came under the control of the United States Shipping Board, which placed her in service under a United States Army account with a U.S. Navy Naval Armed Guard detachment aboard.
