The first USS ''Honolulu'' (ID-1843) was a cargo ship that served in the United States Navy probably from 1918 to 1919. ''Honolulu'' was built as SS ''Setos'' by Armstrong Whitworth Ltd., Newcastle upon Tyne, England, in 1905 on Order of the ''Deutsche Dampfschiffahrts-Gesellschaft Kosmos'', a shipping company with lines from Germany to the west coast of South and North America. 1914 she searched for shelter at Honolulu. She was taken over by the United States for World War I on 12 June 1917, transferred to United States Shipping Board ownership, renamed ''Itasca'' and assigned to United States Army service. Although sh e operated as a U.S. cargo transport with a U.S. Navy crew, there is no record of her commissioning. Her name was changed to ''Honolulu'' on 26 July 1918.〔This may reflect a commissioning date; many U.S. Navy World War I cargo ships were commissioned in 1918 after 1917–1918 U.S. Army service, and a commissioning date is a logical date on which her name would change.〕 ''Honolulu''s service included cargo cruises between the United States and various French ports. U.S. Navy personnel were released from the ship in March 1919〔This may reflect her decommissioning, as that is a logical time for U.S. Navy personnel to depart.〕 and she was rejected for further U.S. Navy service on 2 April 1919. Honolulu was returned to the United States Shipping Board and sold on 26 January 1920. ''Honolulu'' resumed commercial service, and was sold 1923 to Moore-McCormack. Renamed ''Commercial Trader'' she was assigned to their Gulf Line until 1934 scrapped. The Company used more ex-German ships. One was ''Commercial Pathfinder'' ex ''Osage'' ex German ''Serapis'', a sistership of ''Setos'', between 1920 and 1928 too in service of their Gulf Line, which 1914 stayed at San Francisco. ==Notes== 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 Honolulu (ID-1843)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
