USS Cheng Ho (IX-52)
USS ''Cheng Ho'' (IX-52) (also written ''Chengho''), an unclassified miscellaneous vessel, was the only ship of the United States Navy of that name, which was given to her by her civilian owner for Zheng He, the Chinese admiral and explorer.
==Exploring vessel==
The Chinese junk motor yacht was built at the Ah King Shipways, Hong Kong, for Mrs. Anne Archbold (the daughter of John Dustin Archbold, co-founder of Standard Oil), and launched in October 1939. She was designed and built for a plant collecting expedition to the Dutch East Indies led by botanist David Fairchild. The expedition was intended to last for two years, but after only six months the outbreak of war made further work impossible. Although shortened, the trip was productive. More than 500 different kinds of plants were collected, including more than 90 species of palms.
