The Mount Vernons were former United States Line passenger ships constructed in 1932-1933, acquired by the Navy in June 1941 and quickly converted to troop transports, and manned by Coast Guard crews.  Both units were en route to Cape Horn when war broke out in the Pacific, and Mount Vernon made a dangerous run to Singapore with reinforcements and to evacuate refugees just before that city fell. Mount Vernon continued to operate in the Pacific theater until May 1944, while Wakefield operated predominantly in the Atlantic except for three trips to the Pacific.

The ships had a maximum cargo boom capacity of 30 tons.
