Come aboard the SS American Victory-one of only four fully-operational WWII ships in America. See what happens behind the scenes that makes this a true American icon in Tampa Bay.

I served on the ANTARES AKS 33 (NAMPA VICTORY). This brings back memories. I loved her...

Hi . Sailed on these ships for nearly five years 1966-1971 . My first ship as a cadet and the last one as second mate. Tough , fast ships , rode rough weather beautifully . Small but cosy cabins .The company , I worked for , India Steamship Co. Ltd . had five Victory ships . I sailed on three of them . When oil prices shot up in the 70s, their 40 metric tonnes consumption per day , made it unaffordable for the Company and they were sold off or scrapped(excellent steel). Nostalgic to revisit a Victory ship through your video . Thank You.

My dad served in the Navy on the USS Boulder Victory which hit a mine in the South Pacific and had to be scuttled. It was an ammunition ship. It was not crewed by MM, but USN personnel.

My father was a Machinist Mate 2nd Class on the USS Boulder Victory when it hit a mine as well. It wasn’t scuttled but repaired. Thank God the sea water came in the water tight compartment and smothered most of the fire. My Dad said a lot of the shells were rolling around after the blast.

I filed the tanks on a small petrol tanker some thirty years after WW2. The officers told me the Japanese were cutting liberty ships and fitting tanker bodies. The engine and machinery were so good.

Nice video. Brings back memories of when my Dad was captain of the Greenville Victory.
