Important note. I have a close friend by the name Bud Shortridge, who’s a Naval Hobbiest researcher of the more modern ships. His main field is those of the Liberty & Victory classes ( 1941-? ), you will find him very knowledgeable and willing to help. So if you looking for information on these Liberty & Victory ships or have a general question give him a try it’s all ( Free) and tell him Dennis sent you.
