USS Rappahannock (AF-6)
USS Rappahannock (AF-6) was an ''Rappahannock''-class stores ship acquired by the U.S. Navy for use in World War I. She served in the dangerous North Atlantic Ocean, delivering animals, such as horses and steers on-the-hoof, to American Expeditionary Force troops in Europe.
== Acquiring an enemy’s ship ==
The first ''Rappahannock'' (Id. No. 1854) was launched in 1913 as SS ''Pommern'' by the Bremer-Vulcan yards, Vegesack, Germany, for the North German Lloyd Line. She was the third freighter of the ''Rheinland''-Class built for the company's Australia freight service line via the Cape of Good Hope. SS ''Pommern'' was voluntarily interned in Honolulu after the outbreak of World War I in Europe and was seized when the United States entered the war. She was then assigned to the US Navy by the U.S. Shipping Board; converted; delivered to the Navy 7 December 1917; renamed ''Rappahannock''; and commissioned 8 December 1917.
