Today we went to downtown Tampa and toured the American Victory Ship. SS American Victory is a Victory ship which saw brief service in the Pacific Theater of Operations during the final months of World War II, Korean War from 1951–1954, and Vietnam War from 1966–1969. Built in June 1945, she carried ammunition and other cargo from Los Angeles to Southeast Asia, then ferried cargo, equipment and troops back to the U.S. after the war ended. She survived two typhoons and one hurricane.

I’ve been on the USS Midway aircraft carrier and the USS Missouri battleship. This ship was a lot smaller in comparison – only 455 ft. long. It was still a fun visit. The PotD was taken from the flying bridge on top of the ship where it was easier to see and navigate ports and waterways.

The pic below was taken from the actual bridge. It surprised me how small it actually was – compared to the Midway and Missouri.

This pic was from one of the crew quarters. The graffiti on the locker reminded me a bit of some of the graffiti seen on the movie ‘Apocalypse Now’.
