USS Crescent City (APA-21)
USS ''Crescent City'' (AP-40/APA-21) was the lead ship of the ''Crescent City''-class attack transports that served with the US Navy during World War II. The ship was built as the cargo and passenger liner ''Delorleans'' for the Mississippi Shipping Company's Delta Line. After brief commercial operation the ship was among 28 vessels requisitioned in June 1941 for the Navy and the Army. The Navy renamed the ship ''Crescent City'', a popular nickname for New Orleans, Louisiana, upon commissioning 10 October 1941. The ship was decommissioned and laid up in 1948 before being loaned to the California Maritime Academy to serve as a training ship 1971—1999 and then transferred to a foundation in a failed art colony project. The ship left California for Texas scrapping in 2012.
