Notes
  • Significance: During the closing years of World War II, military planners requested that the Maritime Commission construct a new class of attack transports. Designers utilized the new Victory class and converted it into a troop transport for the U.S. Navy called the Haskell class, designated as VC2-S-AP5. The Maritime Commission constructed 117 attack transports during the war and the Gage is the sole remaining ship afloat in its original configuration.
