USS Houston (AK-1) : ウィキペディア英語版 | USS Houston (AK-1)
USS Houston (AK-1) was a cargo ship that was acquired by the U.S. Navy for service in World War I. During World War II, she served as a commercial cargo ship under charter to the United States Lines by the War Shipping Administration. ==Acquiring a scuttled German freighter== The first Navy ship to be named ''Houston'', ''AK-1'' was the former German freighter SS ''Liebenfels'', built by Bremer Vulcan, Vegesack, Germany, in 1903. Operated by the Hansa Line, she arrived at Charleston, South Carolina, in August 1914, and remained there until 1 February 1917, when her German crew scuttled her. Finding her sunk and abandoned, U.S. authorities set about to raise the ship and took her to Charleston Navy Yard for refitting on 20 March 1917. She was commissioned as ''Houston'' (AK-1) on 3 July 1917, Lt. Comdr. W. H. Lee, USNRF commanding.
