- DANFS (NHHC, 'Antona II (IX-133)'): tanker built in 1921 at Oakland, Calif., by Moore Shipbuilding Co. for the Vacuum Oil Co.; carried crude oil and petroleum products commercially for over two decades; purchased by the Maritime Commission's War Shipping Administration in autumn 1943; immediately slated for naval service and renamed Antona 3 November 1943; remained in WSA hands during repairs and conversion; transferred to the Navy under bare-boat charter 4 May 1944 at Majuro Atoll and commissioned same day, Lt. Comdr. Louis M. Fabian, USNR, in command. Service: ServRon 10 station tanker - Majuro to 21 June 1944; Eniwetok to early October; Ulithi from 5 October to 13 February 1945; Kossol Passage (Palaus) fueling, via Peleliu, back to Ulithi early June; departed 10 July for Okinawa, station tanker through war's end; departed Okinawa December, Subic Bay 21 December; departed Subic 3 March 1946, San Francisco 15 April; decommissioned 3 May 1946, returned to WSA same day, NDRF Suisun Bay; struck from the Navy list 21 May 1946; 'until scrapped in 1957' under original name Birkenhead. Ship-data line: dp. 4,343; l. 438'6"; b. 57'0"; dr. 27'4" (f.); s. 10.5 k.; cpl. 61; a. 1 4", 1 3".

- Shipscribe class notes (program-level, IX 131-145): on 12 Oct 43 the Auxiliary Vessels Board reported availability of old WSA tankers plus new Liberty tankers to meet urgent Pacific floating-storage requirements, and recommended 15 old tankers it identified by name for acquisition; because service would be primarily storage in port with little cruising, 'only minimum repairs for service should be made and no conversion features be undertaken.' Over half the nominated ships were ex-Italian tankers; the others were American ships dating from 1921 or before (this hull, ex-Birkenhead 1921, among them). VCNO formal request to WSA (14 Oct 43) asked 35 ships; hulls were to serve under WSA merchant operation to their Pacific destinations, then be taken over and manned by the Navy. VCNO (19 Oct 43) directed merchant-standard armament (1-4" or 5" aft, 1-3"/50 forward, 8-20mm) and outfit with 20 lengths of 4" and 6 lengths of 6" filling hose for fuel transfer; all 15 were to load fuel-oil cargoes for the initial voyage ('dirty' tankers).

- Steam-plant insulation standard in the era this tanker was built (1921) consisted of magnesia sectional pipe covering bound with ~15% asbestos fiber ('usually obtained mixed with 15 per cent of long fibre asbestos'), asbestos rope lagging for vibration zones, and asbestos gaskets/packing. A 1921 steam tanker's boiler and steam-line insulation would have been manufactured to this convention.
