High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! USS General W. C. Gorgas (ID-1365) was a United States Navy troop transport in commission in 1919, named for William C. Gorgas. General W. C. Gorgas was built in 1902 as the commercial passenger-cargo ship SS Prinz Sigismund at Rostock, Germany, by Neptun Aktiengesellschaft, Schiffswerft und Maschinenfabrik for the Hamburg-Amerika Line (HAL). HAL had five of these ships from three builders. The United States Shipping Board seized Prinz Sigismund when the United States entered World War I on the side of the Allies in April 1917. Renamed SS General W. C. Gorgas, she carried troops and cargo to Europe during the war under charter operations of the Panama Railroad and Steamship Company of New York City. Her Sisterships Prinz Eitel Friedrich and Prinz Joachim were too taken over in 1917 by the shipping board and were renamed Otsego (ID-1628) and Moccasin (ID-1322).
