USS Empire State (1931-1946)

[Former USS PROCYON (AG-11)]

One of the famous "Hog Islander" class vessels, PROCYON was built in 1919 as SHAUME. She served as flagship of the Navy's Pacific Fleet Supply Train from 1923-1930. More modern in design, she had a steam turbine and the latest in navigation equipment. At the beginning of World War II, the Empire State was reassigned to the US Maritime Commission, renamed the "AMERICAN PILOT" and served as a training ship for other maritime schools  as well as the New York State Maritime Academy. -Maritime Industry Museuem http://www.maritimeindustrymuseum.org/index.htm
