The Victory ship is a class of cargo ships produced in large numbers by American shipyards during World War II. They were a more modern design compared to the earlier Liberty ship, were slightly larger and had more powerful steam turbine engines, giving them higher speed to allow participation in high-speed convoys and make them more difficult targets for German U-boats. A total of 534 Victory ships were built from 1944 to 1946.
