"USS Majaba (AG-43/IX-102) was the Design 1049 cargo ship Meriden built in 1919 by the Albina Engine & Machine Works, Portland, Oregon. All the ships were requisitioned by the United States Shipping Board (USSB) for World War I service. The ship was bought by the E. K. Wood Lumber Co., of San Francisco, California in 1923 and renamed El Capitan. The ship was chartered by the U.S. Navy through the War Shipping Administration (WSA) in April 1942 and commissioned as Majaba. Majaba was assigned to operations in the South Pacific Ocean and at Guadalcanal she was struck by a torpedo and beached. After salvage, towing, removal of engines and repair at Tulagi the ship served as a barracks, storage ship and repair ship until the end of the war. In October 1945 WSA requisitioned the title from the owner. Majaba continued service at Tulagi until she was towed to the Philippines in 1945. The ship was redelivered to WSA on 14 March 1946, placed in the reserve fleet at Subic Bay and declared a loss. On 14 July 1946 the hull sank at the pier and declared not salvageable."@en . . . . . .
