Launched 2 December 1944 by California Shipbuilding Corp., San Pedro, Calif., under a Maritime Commission contract; sponsored by Mrs. R. H. Moulton; acquired 27 February 1945 and commissioned the same day, Captain C. H. Anderson in command. Service: one cargo voyage to Pearl Harbor (8 May - 4 June 1945); departed Seattle 27 June, sailed via Saipan and Ulithi to Okinawa arriving 12 August; carried troops for the occupations of Inchon, Korea, and Chinwangtao and Tsingtao, China, until 28 November; sailed with homeward-bound servicemen for Tacoma, Wash., arriving 19 December; San Pedro, Panama Canal, Norfolk, arriving 28 February 1946; decommissioned Norfolk 17 March 1946; transferred to the Maritime Commission 20 March 1946. Per TSHA, the namesake county (est. 1876) is named for James Collinsworth, first chief justice of the Republic of Texas - 'Collingsworth' is a legislative misspelling retained in the county name.

    Finding
    Source discrepancies resolved or flagged: (a) Two-yard build - DANFS and NavSource list only California Shipbuilding; shipscribe's class notes record 'Of the California SB ships, APA-125, 128, 132, and 136 were fitted out by Moore DD; APA-141 and 143-146 were outfitted by Kaiser, Vancouver' and the hull-specific note 'Towed to Kaiser, Vancouver, Wash., by civilian crew 8 Dec 44-14 Dec 44 for completion'; the MARAD cards confirm it ('Calif. SB Corp.-(partially constr. 12-8-44)', 'KV-436 (machy)', 'Outfitted at Kaiser-Van alongside Cottle', delivery at Astoria, Ore.). Adopted: CalShip hull, Kaiser Vancouver completion. (b) Machinery - generic class summaries (incl. the batch class profile) print 'single Westinghouse geared turbine'; this hull's BuShips machinery row and NavSource both give Joshua-Hendy (turbine and main reduction gears), and shipscribe's turbine-assignment list places APA-146 in the Joshua-Hendy group (APA-118-21, 123, 126-28, 130, 132, 134-40, 146-50, 232-47). Adopted Joshua-Hendy. (c) Decommissioning date - DANFS and NavSource give 17 March 1946; shipscribe's disposal table prints '18 Mar 46' and its notes hedge 'May have been decommissioned 17 Mar 46'. Adopted 17 March 1946 per DANFS. (d) Complement - NavSource prints 99 officers + 593 enlisted (692 total); BuShips per-hull row and DANFS spec block give 536 (56 officers + 480 enlisted); NavSource troop figure 1,465 vs BuShips 1,475. Adopted 536 / 1,561. (e) Speed - DANFS spec block 's. 18 k.' vs BuShips/NavSource 17.7 kts trial. Adopted 17.7. (f) Scrapping buyer - NavSource 'Desquaces Mastea S.A.' vs MARAD card 'Desguaces Mastea S.A., Spanish corp, in Spain'. Adopted MARAD spelling. (g) Namesake collision - the 1920 Hog Island steam merchant SS Collingsworth (American Mail Line; sunk by U-124, 9 Jan 1943) shares the name but is a different vessel (MARAD Detail 12994).

    Finding
    Era/design inference: this hull carried a single-screw geared-steam plant (one Joshua-Hendy turbine, two Babcock & Wilcox header-type boilers at 465 psi / 750F superheat) built and fitted out at peak WWII asbestos usage - the machinery configuration for which boiler and fireroom insulation, main and auxiliary steam-line lagging, turbine lagging, valve and flange gaskets, machinery packing, and accommodation joiner insulation of the period were commonly asbestos-containing. Troop-space outfitting (accommodations for 1,561) added interior insulation scope. Documented ship-level disturbance/repair phases for this hull: construction at CalShip Wilmington (Oct-Dec 1944) and outfitting at Kaiser Vancouver (Dec 1944-Feb 1945); the FY1955 Repair Program GAA withdrawal to Blidberg Rothchild Co. (Jan-Mar 1955); the June 1966 Norfolk SB&DD drydocking and cathodic examination; the June 1983 Navy stripping withdrawal; and the 1985 breaking in Spain.

Authenticated CourtListener API v4 sweeps for this hull returned no qualifying case: 'USS Collingsworth' opinions count=0; 'USS Collingsworth' dockets count=0; 'APA-146' opinions count=2, both the same D.C. Circuit opinion (NRDC v. NRC, 685 F.2d 459 (1982), two clusters) where 'APA-146' is an Administrative Procedure Act / reporter pin-cite - name collisions, not the ship.
