- USS William Ward Burrows was a transport ship that saw service with the United States Navy in World War II. The ship was the former Grace Steamship Company liner MV Santa Rita by Burmeister & Wain and launched in 1929 at Copenhagen, Denmark. As a Grace liner Santa Rita served the New York—South American West Coast trade from 1929 until 1939. After Navy acquisition the ship served in the Pacific. From October 1940 she assisted in the buildup of Central Pacific bases, being caught in transit from Hawaii to Wake Island when news of the attack on Pearl Harbor came. In April 1943 the ship became flagship for Service Squadron (ServRon) 12 which was engaged in salvage, harbor clearance, restoration and building in forward areas of the Pacific, often as combat continued ashore. The ship was associated with transport and serving as a base for elements of the attached 301st U.S. Naval Construction Battalion ("Seabees") (NCB 301) which was equipped for major harbor work. On 29 June 1946 the ship went into reserve at Olympia, Washington until removed for scrapping 18 May 1957. (en)
