| rdfs:comment | - SS Maritime Victory, hull number 821, VC2-S-AP2/WSAT was an American Army transport which saw duty just after World War II. The ship was launched on Tuesday, 22 May 1945. The sponsor was J. Buell Snyder, wife of Congressman Snyder. She was launched from the Bethlehem-Fairfield Shipyards and later delivered on 18 June 1945, then transferred to the Army War Department as an Army Transport. The Maritime Victory was unusual in that as an AP2 vessel, the cargo holds were converted for troop berthing (though with reduced cargo-carrying ability) and topside cargo handling gear was retained.
