USS Zaniah (AK-120)
USS Zaniah (AK-120) was an ''Basilan''-class cargo ship commissioned by the United States Navy for service in World War II. She was responsible for delivering troops, goods and equipment to locations in the war zone.
''SS Anthony F. Lucas''—a Liberty ship—was laid down under a Maritime Commission contract (MCE hull 2422) on 29 October 1943 at Houston, Texas, by the Todd-Houston Shipbuilding Corp.; acquired by the Navy under a bareboat charter on 2 November 1943; renamed ''Zaniah'' and classified as a cargo ship, AK-120, on 13 November; launched on 12 December; sponsored by Mrs. LeRoy Bembry; and accepted by the Navy and commissioned on 22 December 1943, for ferrying to the Alabama Drydock and Shipbuilding Company's yard at Mobile, Alabama, for conversion.
==Conversion to stores-barracks-distilling ship==
Arriving at Mobile on the day after Christmas, ''Zaniah'' soon entered dockyard hands and was decommissioned on 28 December. Meanwhile, during the conversion, the Navy broadened ''Zaniah's'' mission to that of a special stores-barracks-distilling ship and redesignated her AG-70 on 14 March 1944. Before she was completed, a distilling plant capable of producing 80,000 gallons of fresh water was installed in the ship; and she was commissioned on 2 September 1944, Lt. Comdr. Henry Mayfield, USNR, in command.
