USS Lassen (AE-3)
USS ''Lassen'' (AE-3) was built as MS ''Shooting Star'' under U.S. Maritime Commission contract that was delivered to the Navy after sea trials and became an ammunition cargo ship of the U.S. Navy during World War II. Like many Naval ships of this category that carried large amounts of explosive cargo, she was named for a volcano (or a volcanic island). In this case, the ship was named for Lassen Peak, a volcano in northern California that erupted heavily in 1914-17.
==Construction and commission==
''Shooting Star'' was built by the Tampa Shipbuilding Company in Tampa, Florida, under a Maritime Commission contract as the second, the first being , of eight C2 type motor ships of a series constructed by Tampa Shipbuilding & Engineering Company, Tampa, Florida powered by twin Nordberg diesels. She was launched on 10 January 1940, christened by Mrs. Fred C. Cone. The ship was acquired by the Navy on 15 November 1940, and commissioned four days later for transfer to a shipyard in Mobile, Alabama, for conversion to a Naval ammunition ship, with Lt. Cmdr. A. B. Kerr in command. She was re-commissioned in her modified form on 27 March 1941, with Commander Russell S. Berkey of the U.S. Navy in command.
