27 September 1941 was dubbed “Liberty Fleet Day” due to the 14 “Emergency” vessels that were launched in shipyards across the United States on that day. This fleet included the first Liberty ship SS ''Patrick Henry'', one troop transport, a tanker, a US Navy ammunition ship and a Royal Navy aircraft carrier. In addition, the US Navy launched two destroyers at the Boston Navy Yard. ==The ships== *SS ''Adabelle Lykes'' (Pusey and Jones – Wilmington, Delaware) *SS ''African Planet'' (Ingalls Shipbuilding – Pascagoula, Mississippi) *SS ''Alcoa Polaris'' (Consolidated Steel Corporation – Los Angeles, California) *SS ''James McKay'' (Bethlehem Steel Sparrows Point – Baltimore, Maryland) *SS ''John C.
