USS Heywood (APA-6)
USS ''Heywood'' (APA-6) was a acquired by the U.S. Navy for service as a troop carrier just prior to World War II. She served in the Pacific War, a very dangerous area in the early years of the war, and safely returned home post-war with seven battle stars to her credit.
''Heywood'' was built in 1919 as ''Steadfast'' by the Bethlehem Steel Corp., Alameda, California. As ''City of Baltimore'' she made New York-San Francisco passenger runs for the Panama Pacific Lines throughout the 1930s. She was acquired by the Navy 26 October 1940, renamed ''Heywood'' (AP-12), and fitted out as a troop transport at Portland, Oregon, where she commissioned 7 November 1940, Captain Herbert B. Knowles in command.
==Pre–World War II North Atlantic operations==
''Heywood'' cruised as far west as Hawaii before transiting the Panama Canal for Charleston, South Carolina, arriving 14 June 1941. She carried garrison forces for the defense of Iceland and performed neutrality patrol in waters of the West Indies until the infamous raid on Pearl Harbor.
