  • SS Zebulon Vance (MC contract 145) was a Liberty ship built in the United States during World War II. She was named after Zebulon Vance, the two time Governor of North Carolina, lawyer, and Confederate Army officer. The ship was laid down by North Carolina Shipbuilding Company in their Cape Fear River yard on May 22, 1941, then launched on December 6, 1941. Alice Broughton, wife of sitting governor J. Melville Broughton christened the ship at launch. Zebulon Vance was assigned to American Export Lines under a bare boat charter February 17, 1942. While under control of the War Shipping Administration she survived floating mines, a near torpedo miss, and the invasion of North Africa. It was chartered again by American Export Lines July 27, 1942. It was purchased November 22, 1943 by the War Department for conversion to a hospital ship. This was completed by Bethlehem Shipbuilding Corporation at their Fore River Shipyard in July 1944. It was commissioned as the USAHS John J. Meany. She was named after Major John J. Meany, a US Army surgeon killed in North Africa. John J. Meany served in the Mediterranean from August to December 1945 and was decommissioned in January 1946 following the end of the war.

Vance, carrying military dependents between the United States and Europe until December 10, 1948 when it was laid up in the National Defense Reserve Fleet James River Fleet. Declared surplus September 16, 1949 it was sold for scrapping to an Italian company in February 1970. (en)
