The Valley Forge started life during WWII as the Liberty ship SS Horace H. Harvey. She was built as a tanker in late 1943 by the War Shipping Administration (created in 1942 to control all US shipping during the war) at the Delta Shipbuilding Corp in New Orleans in only 1 1/2 months. We don't have her full wartime history, but we do know she made at least one voyage carrying fuel to Sydney in July 1944 and she was then part of a convoy to Liverpool in August 1944. She also made at least two convoy trips carrying supplies to North Africa.
