  • USS Wharton (AP-7) was a troop transport and hospital ship in the service of the United States Navy during World War II. Originally built for the Munson Steamship Line as the cargo liner SS Southern Cross in 1921, she was acquired by the Navy as World War II approached and, once the United States became a combatant, she served as a troop transport and hospital ship in the Pacific Theatre. At war's end, she returned Stateside proudly with three battle stars. SS Southern Cross operated in the South American trade from 1921 until acquired by the Navy from the Maritime Commission on 8 November 1939. Two days later, the ship was renamed Wharton and designated AP-7. She was converted to a troop transport by the Todd Shipbuilding Corp., in the Robbins Drydock in Erie Basin at Brooklyn, New York. The transport was commissioned at the New York Navy Yard on 7 December 1940, Capt. Ernest L. Vanderkloot in command.
