USS Catskill (AP-106)
Under construction on 7 February 1944 at the Willamette Iron & Steel Corp., Portland, Oregon.
The ship is being completed as a transport with facilities to carry vehicles on her former mine deck, and the mine ports in the stern have been plated over. Work has not yet begun to implement a mid-1943 decision to add a stern gate and ramp for launching amphibious vehicles.
