SS President Cleveland (1920)
''SS President Cleveland'' was originally built as ''Golden State'' for the United States Shipping Board (USSB), one of the planned World War I troop transports converted before construction into passenger and cargo vessels launched as Emergency Fleet Corporation Design 1029 ships first known, along with the smaller Design 1095 versions, in the trade as "State" ships due to names assigned for the nicknames of states and later as "535's" for their length overall. Almost all ships of both designs were renamed for United States presidents by May 1921 with ''Golden State'' being renamed ''President Cleveland''. As one of the USSB owned ships operated by agents of the board, ''President Cleveland'' was allocated to and operated by the Pacific Mail Steamship Company until sold by the USSB to the Dollar Steamship Line in 1925. After the demise of that line and creation of a new, replacement line, American President Lines the ship remained with that line until government acquisition for the Second World War.
''President Cleveland'' was acquired by the War Department and renamed ''Tasker H. Bliss'' and converted into a troop transport which served in the Pacific immediately preceding and after outbreak of the war. She was acquired from the United States Army by the United States Navy for war use, commissioned USS ''Tasker H. Bliss'' on 15 September 1942 and designated as transport AP-42. On 12 November 1942, while supporting Operation Torch of the North African Campaign she was sunk after being struck by a German submarine’s torpedo at Fedala Bay, Morocco.
