High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The USS Sangay (AE-10) was a ship of the United States Navy which saw service during World War II in the Pacific. A munitions carrier, the Sangay was named after the Sangay volcano in Ecuador, a tongue-in-cheek reference to what would happen if a munitions ship was hit by enemy fire. The ship shuttled ammunition initially between San Francisco and Pearl Harbor Hawaii, then moved to the forward area in the Pacific theater to supply combatants. The Sangay served during the entirety of the war and was retired shortly after the end of hostilities.
