USS Inca (IX-229)
USS ''Inca'', a 3,381-ton (light displacement) "Liberty" ship, was launched in March 1943 at Los Angeles, California, and entered merchant service later the same month as S.S. ''William B. Allison'', MCE hull 724. Two years later she would be taken into US Navy as stores ship and renamed USS ''Inca'' (IX-229). For much of her service as ''Inca'' she was also named USS ''Gamage'' (IX-227) because of bureaucratic confusion.〔
==Service history==
On 25 May 1945 she was damaged by an aircraft torpedo off Nakagusuku Wan, Okinawa, and although towed into port she was considered a constructive total loss, not suitable for repair. On 25 July 1945, based on a recommendation from the local War Shipping Administration (WSA) official, the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) authorized Commander Service Division (ComServDiv) 104 to accept the ship "as is" at Okinawa and place her in service for non-self propelled floating dry storage. ComServDiv 104 accepted her at Okinawa on 30 July and on 6 August the Secretary of the Navy (SECNAV) approved the name ''Inca'' and designator IX-229 for her. She was converted to a storage ship by USS ''Vestal'' (AR-4) and USS ''Zaniah'' (AG-70), and was in Buckner Bay, Okinawa, when typhoons struck on 16 September and 9 October 1945. During the September typhoon she was hit by a merchant ship and suffered topside damage that was considered repairable, and she continued to issue supplies to ships in the bay. During the October typhoon she broke adrift and was one of several ships that USS ''Nestor'' (ARB-6) reported nearly hit her as ''Nestor'' was inexorably being driven ashore. ''Inca'' went aground during the storm and remained aground afterward, but plans to survey her in late October were canceled and she appears to have remained in service as a storage ship into December.〔
