High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The USS Europa (AP-177) was a transport ship that saw service in the United States Navy immediately following World War II. The only ship of her class, she was named for Europa, the smallest of the Galilean moons of the planet Jupiter. SS Europa was built in 1928 by Blohm & Voss of Hamburg, Germany, for Norddeutscher Lloyd shipping lines and entered service in 1930. She was taken as a war prize on 8 May 1945; acquired by the Navy and commissioned on 25 August 1945 with Captain B. F. Perry in command. Europa cleared Bremerhaven on 11 September 1945 for Southhampton, England, where she loaded 4,500 homeward-bound American troops, with whom she arrived in New York on 24 September. After alteration to increase her troop-carrying capacity, she made two voyages to Southampton to bring servicemen home. She sailed from New York once more on 15 March 1946 bound for Kirkwall in the Orkney Islands, and Bremerhaven, where she moored on 24 March.
