United States Maritime Commission C1, C1-M, and P Type Ships

C1 Type
The C1 types were the smallest of the 3 original types designed by the United States Maritime Commission and were intended to be used on routes that did not call for fast ships. 173 were built between 1940 and 1945. Both the  C1-A and  C1-B were built with either steam geared turbine or diesel motors.
