Two ships of the United States Navy have borne the name USS ''Auburn''. The first was named for the town of Auburn, Pennsylvania, situated on a tributary of the Little Schuylkill River, Schuylkill County, northwest of Chester, Pa., where the ship was built. The second ''Auburn'' (AGC-10) was named for Mount Auburn, northwest of Cambridge, Massachusetts. The name itself is found in Oliver Goldsmith's long poem, "The Deserted Village" (1770). * USS ''Auburn'' (ID-3842) was a freighter, which was launched in 1918. She was commissioned on 24 January 1919 and decommissioned on 22 February 1919. She remained in the USSB fleet until around 1932–1933, when she was "abandoned ... due to age and deterioration." * USS ''Auburn'' (AGC-10) was a ''Catoctin''-class〔DANFS says ''Catoctin'' class; Navsource says ''Mount McKinley'' class. 〕 command ship. Originally ''Katkay'',〔DANFS says ''Kitkay''; Navsource says ''Kathay''.〕 the ship was launched in 1943. She was acquired by the Navy, converted, and renamed in 1944. ''Auburn'' was struck in 1960 and sold for scrap in 1961. == References == * 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 Auburn」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
