USS Joseph Hewes (AP-50)
USS ''Joseph Hewes'' (AP-50) was a transport for the United States Navy during World War II. She was built in 1930, acquired 8 January 1942, and was assigned the task of transporting troops to and from battle areas. After off-loading delays caused by the Naval Battle of Casablanca, she was sunk by a German torpedo while anchored along the North African coast.
''Joseph Hewes'' was launched in 1930 by the New York Shipbuilding Corp., Camden, New Jersey as the passenger liner ''Excalibur''. As part of American Export Lines' original "4 Aces," she provided first-class service between New York and Europe. In August 1940, ''Excalibur'' carried the Duke and Duchess of Windsor from Lisbon to Bermuda.
''Excalibur'' was acquired by the Navy 8 January 1942, and commissioned 1 May 1942, with Captain Robert McL. Smith in command.

After conversion and fitting out, ''Joseph Hewes'' sortied from Hampton Roads 24 October with the Center Attack Group of Admiral Hewitt's Western Naval Task Force en route to French Morocco. She was carrying 80 officers and 1,074 men of the reinforced 3rd Division, U.S. Army, plus vehicles and supplies.
