About USNS Clarksburg
USNS Clarksburg (T-AG-183) - SS Clarksburg Victory was one of 12 Victory ships scheduled to be acquired by the United States Navy in February 1966 and converted into Forward Depot Ships and placed into service with the Military Sea Transport Service, The Clarksburg Victory (MCV-888) was chosen for this conversion and assigned the name Clarksburg but the program was canceled and the ships were not acquired by the Navy. She was laid down on 9 July 1945 during the time World War II was still active in the Pacific War. But, with the surrender of Japan on 15 August 1945, she was not needed to help with the bloody invasion of Japan mainland. She was placed in service on 15 October 1945. Victory ships were designed to replace the earlier Liberty Ships. Liberty ships were designed to be used just for WW2. Victory ships were designed to last longer and serve the US Navy after the war.
