PANAMA CANAL  - Laid down as a WWI liberty ship,  the USAT St. Mihiel was launched in 1920 and operated as an army transport from 1922 until mid-1940. She was then transferred to the USN, and was commissioned as USS St. Mihiel. In  November 1943 she was retransferred to the Army, and was used as a hospital ship.
