Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. USS Admiral H T Mayo (AP-125) was a United States Navy Admiral W. S. Benson class transport that entered service at the end of World War II. She partook in Operation Magic Carpet before being transferred to the U.S Army for a short period, who renamed her USAT General Nelson M Walker, before returning to the Navy. She was stricken from the Naval Vessel Register in January 1981 before being scrapped in 2005. Built at Alameda, California to the Maritime Commission''s P2-SE2-R1 design, she was commissioned in April 1945. After shakedown she steamed to the Atlantic and, in June, carried 5,819 released prisoners of war from Le Havre, France, to Boston. Her next voyage took her to Marseilles, France, where she embarked 4,888 quartermaster and engineer troops and transported them to Okinawa, arriving in September. Admiral H. T. Mayo then began the first of several "Magic Carpet" trips, bringing servicemen home from the Western Pacific. The ship completed the last of these voyages in April 1946 and sailed for New York, where she was decommissioned in May 1946 and transferred, via the Maritime Commission, to the U.S. Army.
