The Type C4-class ship were the largest cargo ships built by the United States Maritime Commission (MARCOM) during World War II. The design was originally developed for the in 1941, but in late 1941 the plans were taken over by the MARCOM. Among the variations of the design were the Haven-class hospital ship.

  • The Type C4-class ship were the largest cargo ships built by the United States Maritime Commission (MARCOM) during World War II. The design was originally developed for the in 1941, but in late 1941 the plans were taken over by the MARCOM. Eighty-one ships were built as cargo or troopships in four shipyards: Kaiser Richmond, California (35 ships), Kaiser Vancouver, Washington (20 ships), Sun Shipbuilding and Drydock in Chester, Pennsylvania (20 ships) and Bethlehem Steel Sparrows Point, Maryland (6 ships). All ships were capable of 17 knots (31 km/h; 20 mph), driven by a single screw steam turbine generating 9,900 shaft horsepower (7,400 kW). Among the variations of the design were the Haven-class hospital ship. They were followed post-war by thirty-seven of the larger C4-S-1 class, also known as the Mariner class. (en)
  • De Type C4-schepen waren de grootste vrachtschepen die door de United States Maritime Commission (USMC) tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog zijn besteld. Het ontwerp was gebaseerd op een civiel vrachtschip van de Amerikaanse rederij American-Hawaiian Lines van 1941. Bij het ontwerp was al rekening gehouden met de mogelijkheid tot ombouw tot troepentransportschip. Het schip had in het midden de brugopbouw en de machinekamer lag achterin. De schepen hadden één scheepsschroef aangedreven door een turbine met een vermogen van 9.900 pk. De maximale snelheid was 17 knopen. In totaal zijn 75 schepen gebouwd en deze werden vooral ingezet als troepentransportschip en als hospitaalschip. Drie scheepswerven waren bij de productie betrokken, namelijk twee van Kaiser Shipyards te Richmond in de staat Californië (35 stuks) en te Vancouver (20 stuks) en bij Sun Shipbuilding & Drydock Co. te Chester in Pennsylvania (20 exemplaren).
