Table of U.S. Maritime Commission Hull No's - T3-Tankers
The first 12 T-3 tankers were the first ships bought by the U.S. Maritime Commission after the liner "America", before settling in to the longer-term T2 program.
The remaining 51 were built later, mostly by Bethlehem Sparrows Point, which built 37 of them.
