The Design 1032 ship (full name Emergency Fleet Corporation Design 1032) was a steel- hulled tanker ship design approved for production by the United States Shipping Board's Emergency Fleet Corporation (EFT) in World War I. [1] A total of 5 ships were ordered and completed from 1919 to 1920. [1] All ships were constructed by Bethlehem San Francisco, but sources disagree whether all were built in Alameda or some were also built in the Union Iron Works yard. [1] [2]
