About USNS Upshur (T-AP-198)
USNS Upshur (T-AP-198), was a Barrett-class transport named in honor of Major General William P. Upshur of the United States Marine Corps. The hull of Upshur was laid down on 1 September 1949 by the New York Shipbuilding Corporation in Camden, New Jersey as the SS President Hayes. Designed in 1947 as a passenger-cargo ship for the American President Lines' post-World War II replacement program, before she was completed in her civilian configuration, she was requisitioned by the U.S. Navy at the outbreak of the Korean War and converted for troop and dependent transport. Reassigned to the US Navy and renamed USNS Upshur, she served the Military Sea Transportation Service from 1952 to 1973.
