Fifty-two of the U.S. Navy's WWI era cargo ships had one smokestack, two single masts, three raised hull islands, and one pair of kingposts aft of the bridge face.
To facilitate identification, these vessels have been placed in fifteen sub-groups, some containing ships of essentially identical design ("sister ships"), while others consist of quite different designs. The latter are further subdivided as to whether they were built in the United States or abroad.
This page features a table (with links to individual ships) of World War I era U.S. Navy cargo ships with one smokestack, two single masts, three raised hull islands, and one pair of kingposts aft of the bridge face, plus a photograph of each ship in this group.
