MSTS.
Military Sea Transportation Service.

The ships were crewed by civilians with American civilian masters. The ships were all named for long dead Army generals or heroes...

T-AP-112 General W. A. Mann was the last ship I sailed on. We berthed at Oakland in 1961.
All previous comings and goings were from Seattle.
