The Wikipedia page for USS Agamenticus provides a detailed overview of a ship that was never commissioned into the United States Navy. Named after a Native American chief, the USS Agamenticus was originally laid down as the Liberty ship SS Arthur Sewall during World War II. However, it was never completed as a cargo ship and was instead transferred to the U.S. Navy in 1943 for conversion into a motor torpedo boat tender. Renamed USS Agamenticus, the ship was eventually reclassified as a motor torpedo boat tender with the hull number AGP-13. Despite being designated as a commissioning ship, it never officially entered service and was eventually struck from the Naval Vessel Register in 1946. The vessel was then sold for scrap in 1947. The page also includes information on the ship's technical specifications, history, and fate. Overall, the USS Agamenticus represents a unique chapter in naval history as a ship that never saw active duty but nonetheless played a role in supporting the U.S. Navy's operations during World War II.
