SS Sea Owl

SS Sea Owl was a Type C3-S-A2-based troop transport built during World War II for operation by the War Shipping Administration which saw service in the European Theater of Operations. At times mistakenly termed USAT Sea Owl, she shared her name with a Balao-class submarine USS Sea Owl (SS-405), commissioned on 17 July 1944. SS Sea Owl was one of an undetermined number of "Sea" prefixed C3-S-A2 transports built by Ingalls Shipbuilding and Western Pipe and Steel Company between 1943 and 1945. She was sold in 1947 to Isthmian Lines and operated commercially as the SS Steel Scientist until 1971.
