USS Ice King (ID-3160)
USS ''Ice King'' (ID 3160) was a refrigerated cargo ship (reefer ship) acquired by the U.S. Navy during World War I. She was assigned to transport cargo across the Atlantic Ocean to Allied troops in Europe. On her first transatlantic crossing, a German submarine fired torpedoes at her, but, through skillful maneuvering, her captain was able to avoid being struck and sunk. Post-war she was sold, and continued her civilian maritime career.
== Requisitioned by the Navy ==
''Ice King'', a 4715 gross ton (10,562 tons displacement) refrigerated cargo ship, was built at Shooters Island, New York, as part of the World War I shipbuilding effort. Ordered by the British as ''War Unit'', she was requisitioned by the U.S. Shipping Board and renamed ''Passaic'' while under construction. The ship was taken over by the Navy at New York City on 2 July and commissioned on 5 July 1918, Lt. Comdr. N. Fogarty in command.
She carried the name ''Passaic'' in 1918 but was renamed ''Ice King'' shortly before commissioning, probably by the Navy to avoid confusion with a tug named ''Passaic'' (later designated YT-20) that was already on the Navy List.
