USS ''Kerwood'' (ID-1489) was a cargo ship that served in the United States Navy from 1918-1919. ''Kerwood'' was built as the merchant ship SS ''Budapest'' at Thornaby-on-Tees, England, by Richardson, Duck and Company.〔 She was later renamed SS ''Kerwood''. The U.S. Navy acquired ''Kerwood'' for World War I service on 5 November 1918, assigned her the naval registry Identification Number (Id. No.) 1489, and commissioned her the same day as USS ''Kerwood'', with Lieutenant Commander B. Ellis in command. Assigned to the Naval Overseas Transportation Service, ''Kerwood'' commenced coaling runs from Cardiff, Wales, to French ports. She continued these operations until 28 December 1918, when she arrived at Bordeaux, France with 1,000 tons of United States Army stores. From Bordeaux, she proceeded to Cardiff before departing for the U.S. on 29 January 1919. She arrived at Norfolk, Virginia on 27 February. ''Kerwood'' was decommissioned on 19 March and transferred to the United States Shipping Board for simultaneous return to her owner. ''Kerwood'' returned to commercial service. On 12 December 1919 she struck a naval mine laid during World War I〔 and sank north of Terschelling Island, in the Frisian Islands on the northern coast of the Netherlands. ==Notes== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「USS Kerwood (ID-1489)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
