High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! USS Fergus (APA-82) was a Gilliam-class attack transport that served with the US Navy during World War II. Commissioned late in the war, she was initially assigned to transport duties and consequently did not participate in combat operations. Fergus was named after a county in Montana. She was launched 24 December 1944 by Consolidated Steel at Wilmington, California; acquired by the Navy 19 February 1945; and commissioned 20 February 1945, Commander J. C. Snyder, USNR, in command. Fergus sailed from San Diego 19 April 1945 for Saipan, where she transferred Marines to another transport bound for Okinawa. At Guam she unloaded cargo and embarked hospital patients for San Francisco, returning 24 June. Her next voyage, between 1 July and 20 October, was devoted to redeployment of troops among Pacific bases and to occupation duty in Japan. Fergus made two cruises, one to Guam, Leyte, and Pearl Harbor, and the other to Pearl Harbor alone, to return servicemen eligible for discharge.
