abstract
  • USAT J. W. McAndrew was a Type C3-P&C troop ship for the United States Army during World War II. The ship was built by the Bethlehem Sparrows Point Shipyard of Baltimore in 1940 as SS Delargentino for the United States Maritime Commission on behalf of the Mississippi Shipping Company in 1940. The ship was delivered to Mississippi Shipping in November 1940. Delargentino was requisitioned by the United States Army as a transport in June 1941 and would have been transferred to the Navy and named USS J. W. McAndrew (AP-47) in 1943, but this was cancelled. While serving as a U.S. Army transport ship in 1945, she collided with French aircraft carrierBéarn with the loss of several lives. Afterward, the ship was repaired, and eventually sold in 1948 to the Farrell Lines for commercial use under the name SS African Enterprise. The ship was laid up as part of the National Defense Reserve Fleet in October 1960, and was finally sold by the Maritime Administration (MARAD) on 9 April 1969. The ship was broken up in Baltimore in February 1972.
