USS Lyon (AP-71)
USS ''Lyon'' (AP-71) was a ship of the United States Navy which played an extensive role in naval transportation during World War II. The ''Lyon'' was built as the ''Mormactide'' under a Maritime Commission contract by the Ingalls Shipbuilding Company of Pascagoula, Mississippi. She was laid down 21 August 1939, and was launched on 12 October 1940; sponsored by Gloria McGehee. On 20 August 1942, the ship was acquired by the Navy and was renamed the ''Lyon'' after Mary Lyon, the founder of Mount Holyoke College (then ''Mount Holyoke Female Seminary''). (See also List of U.S. military vessels named after women.)
The ''Lyon'' was transferred for conversion to the Atlantic Basin Iron Works of Brooklyn, New York on 13 September 1942. The ship was commissioned on 16 September 1942, with Captain M.J. Gillan in command. After the ship's service in World War II, the ship was decommissioned on 3 May 1946, and was returned to her owners, Moore-McCormack Lines. In 1966 the ship was acquired by Grace Lines and renamed the ''Santa Regina''.
==Pre-World War II==
Prior to her World War II service, ''Mormactide'' operated commercially with Moore-McCormack Lines. After being turned over to the Navy, she completed conversion to an AP, ship, on 20 September 1942.
