USS Harry Lee (APA-10) - Footnotes

Footnotes

^ a: Two ships of the same name, SS Exochorda, existed — one pre-war and another post-war. The pre-war SS Exochorda (1931), which later became USS Harry Lee, was a member of a quartet of ships referred to as the (original) "4 Aces" of American Export Lines. During the war, three ships in the original quartet were lost. The fourth ship, Harry Lee, was later sold and renamed Tarsus. Planning to continue the "Aces" line in the post-war period, American Export Lines replaced the original quartet of ships with a fleet known as the "New 4 Aces." The new "Aces" carried the same names as the ships in the original quartet. One of the new "Aces" ships, SS Exochorda had been refurbished from USS Dauphin (APA-97) and later became the floating dormitory SS Stevens.
