Noticing a mention of someone thinking of a Victory ship, I thought of military transports which played a part in my life. When I was 9 years old, I travelled with my family from New York City to Bremerhaven, Germany aboard the USS Buckner. A 10 day voyage. My dad was a Captain in the US Army. Then, years later, while I was in the army myself, assigned to a station in Korea, went aboard the USS Sultan for an 18 day trip from Oakland, California, to Inchon, Korea. To my surprise, both ships were nearly identical. I might build one (scratch build maybe...) for my collection.
