==Construction==
''St. Mihiel'', named in honor of the Army's role in the Battle of St. Mihiel in World War I, was an EFC Design 1024 ship built by the American International Shipbuilding Corporation at Hog Island, Pennsylvania for the United States Shipping Board (USSB). During the planning stage names for the 120 ships to be built at Hog Island were selected by First Lady Mrs. Woodrow Wilson who selected names based on the "aboriginal inhabitants of the United States" with ''Sinnemahoning'' being the prospective name for hull number 672 that was to be completed as ''St. Mihiel''.〔Search of contemporary references at time of launch do not indicate this name in use. McKellar generally gives contract names where used with completion name superseding. In this case no such prospective or "laid down as" name is shown. ''Sinnemahoning'' may have died as a name by the time this ship's keel was laid.〕
The design was for either a troopship or later use as a passenger/cargo ship with a contracted seventy vessels of the type with fifty-eight cancelled and only twelve built. The ship was launched 19 November 1919 with completion and delivery to the USSB in October 1920 with United States Official Number 220739. The ship was in length between perpendiculars, beam, loaded draft and powered by a Curtis steam turbine divided into high and low pressure sections, each having three ahead and one astern stages, and double reduction gears rated at 6,000 horsepower provided by General Electric Company.
