900 prisoners aboard this ship which is heading to the Panama Canal and New York en route to Europe. General Grondinger is quoted as saying "Moving these ISUs and Axis prisoners home by ship will help us get returned American soldiers home from the Pacific faster. The prisoner shipments originate in the service commands west of the Mississippi. They are coming into West Coast ports in railroad coaches which were being deadheaded (sent empty) from the East to pick up returned soldiers... by moving these prisoners and service unit troops on whips we are keeping them out of the way of the eastward rail movement of the Pacific veterans and the ships will be available in the European theater to pick up American soldiers for the trip back to the United States."
