USS ''Munwood'' (ID-4460) was a cargo ship that served in the United States Navy from 1918 to 1919. SS ''Munwood'' was built as a commercial cargo ship by the Scotts Shipbuilding and Engine Company at Greenock, Scotland, in 1914. The United States Army acquired her for World War I service in September 1917 from her owner, Munson Steamship Lines of New York City. The U.S. Navy acquired her on 16 October 1918, assigned her the naval registry Identification Number (Id. No.) 4460, and commissioned her at Baltimore, Maryland, as USS ''Munwood'' on 26 October 1918 with Lieutenant Commander W. D. L. Gilboy, USNRF, in command. ''Munwood'' loaded a U.S. Army cargo and cleared Baltimore for France on 29 November 1918. En route she responded to a distress call from the Portuguese steamer ''Queda'', took her in tow to Bermuda, and then proceeded on to Quiberon, France, arriving there on 10 January 1919. She proceeded to Nantes, France, where she discharged cargo on 20 January 1919. After a delay caused by a collision with the British steamer ''Baylula'', ''Munwood'' cleared Nantes for Bermuda with mixed cargo, arriving there on 18 February 1919. She then proceeded to Baltimore, where she decommissioned on 3 March 1919. She was returned to Munson Steamship Lines the same day. ==References== (incorrectly identified as USS ''Munvood'' in entry) *(Department of the Navy, Naval Historical Center: Online Library of Selected Images: Civilian Ships: USS ''Munwood'' (ID # 4460), 1918-1919 ) *(NavSource Online NavSource Online: Section Patrol Craft Photo Archive USS Munwood (ID 4460) ) 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 Munwood (ID-4460)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
