USS Kermoor (1907)
USS ''Kermoor'' was a United States Navy cargo ship in commission from 1918 to 1919.
==Construction, early career, acquisition, and commissioning==
''Kermoor'' was built in 1907 at Sunderland, England,〔 by JL Thompson and Sons, Ltd as the Austro-Hungarian commercial cargo ship SS ''Morawitz''. Upon the outbreak of World War I in August 1914, she took refuge at Galveston, Texas, in the then-neutral United States to avoid capture or destruction by Allied forces. When the United States took control of all Central Powers merchant ships in its ports in April 1917 when it entered the war on the side of the Allies, it seized German ships and acquired all the Austro-Hungarian merchant ships in its own and other Western Hemisphere ports, although since there was no state of war with Austria-Hungary this was accomplished by purchase. Eight former Austro-Hungarian cargo ships thus became the property of the Kerr Navigation Company of New York City. Kerr Navigation gave them all names beginning with "Ker," ''Morawitz'' becoming ''Kermoor''.
The United States Army took control of ''Kermoor'' on 14 March 1918 for World War I service. The US Navy acquired her from the Army at Cardiff, Wales, on 1 November 1918 and commissioned her the same day as USS ''Kermoor'' with Lt Cdr T Cartwright, USNRF, in command. Unlike most commercial ships commissioned into US Navy service during World War I, ''Kermoor'' never received a naval registry Identification Number (Id. No.).
