Wickes Class

dp. 1,090; l. 314'6"; b. 31'8"; dr. 8'8"; s. 35 k.; cpl. 101; a. 4 4", 2 3", 4 21" tt

Ship received the PUC & 3 Battlestars for WW2 service.

She doesn't have her 4th stack so this might have been done when one set of boilers were taken out to add extra fuel tanks for N. Atlantic Convoy work.
