The T1s
were Maritime
Commission standard tankers completed from 1943-1945. Most either
went to the Navy or to the British
as Lend-Lease.
There were a number of subtypes within the class.
The T1-MT-M1s had the specifications shown above and were all
commissioned by the Navy as the Patapsco class. The T1-M-A1s
were somewhat smaller at 1600 tons cargo capacity and were almost all
given to Britain. The T1-M-A2s were smaller still at 1453 tons
capacity, had only a single propeller, and were mostly commissioned as the Mettawee
class. Other subtypes were either very few in number or were not
completed in time to see service in the Pacific.
