TheTolland-class attack cargo ships were built byNorth Carolina Shipbuilding Co. inWilmington, North Carolina during the latter stages ofWorld War II.^[1]

All these ships were built on the same standard hull design, but there were some differences from ship to ship. The armament varied, as did that of the other ships of the day. During 1944–1945, the 5"/38 was recognized as the best gun for the dual role ofantiaircraft andnaval gunfire support, and the 40 mm was seen as the best antiaircraft gun. The older 20 mm and .50 caliber guns had been recognized to be of limited value, and were being phased out, though they appeared on some of these ships. The 20 mm guns were later removed from all of them, but it is not clear just when this happened.^{[citation needed]}

The complement varied as well, but theDANFS figures sometimes seem to confuse ship's company with embarked troops in determining a ship's complement.^[vague]
