Seven of the U.S. Navy's WWI era cargo ships had their engines and smokestacks aft.
To facilitate identification, these vessels have been placed in three sub-groups, some containing ships of essentially identical design ("sister ships"), while others consist of quite different designs. The latter are further subdivided as to whether they were built in the United States or abroad.
This page features a table (with links to individual ships) of World War I era U.S. Navy cargo ships with engines and smokestacks aft, plus a photograph of each ship in this group.
