United States Maritime Commission C1 and C1-M Type Ships used in World War II, Korean War and Vietnam War

C1 Type
The C1 types were the smallest of the 3 original types designed by the United States Maritime Commission and were intended to be used on routes that did not call for fast ships. 173 were built between 1940 and 1945. Both the  C1-A and  C1-B were built with either steam geared turbine or diesel motors.

The C-1-S-AY1 were modified transports (Loading Ship Infantry, Large) for Great Britain.
