About Cedar Rapids Victory
SS Cedar Rapids Victory was the 77th Victory ship built during World War II under the Emergency Shipbuilding program. She was launched by the California Shipbuilding Company on January 14, 1945, and completed on February 17, 1945. The ship's United States Maritime Commission designation was VC2-S-AP3 and her hull number was 77. Her operator was the American West African Line. Cedar Rapids was one of the new 10,500-short-ton-class (9,500-tonne; 9,400-long-ton) ships known as Victory ships. They were designed to replace the earlier, smaller Liberty ships, which were designed to only be used for the duration of the war. Victory ships were faster, taller, longer and wider, had a thinner stack set farther toward the superstructure and had a long raised forecastle; they were built to last longer and serve after the war.
