The Victory ship (officially VC2) was 455 feet long and 62 feet wide. Her cross-compound steam turbine with double reduction gears developed 6,000 or 8,500 horsepower.
The first of 534 Victory ships, the SS United Victory, was launched on February
28 1944, and like the Libertys, used production line techniques.
The next 34 Victory ships
were named for each of the Allied nations; the subsequent 218 were named after American
cities, the next 150 were named after educational institutions, and rest received
miscellaneous names.
1/96 wooden Victory Ships and ships like this gave the Allied
powers the material to win the war in Europe and Asia.
