Previous vessels named "Antrim"

"Antrim" (FFG-20) was the second ship of that name in the US Navy. The first was named for a lakeshore county in northwestern Michigan. The first "Antrim", (AK-159) was laid down 18 April 1944 at Richmond, Calif., launched on 17 July 1944 and, after her delivery to and acceptance by the Navy on 31 October 1944, was commissioned the same day. Operating under the aegis of Service Squadron 9 through the end of the war with Japan, the vessel carried cargo between Manus, in the Admiralty Islands, and Philippine ports. Ultimately, "Antrim" was decommissioned on 3 April 1946. [ [http://www.history.navy.mil/danfs/a9/antrim-i.htm Dictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships USS Antrim AK-159] ]
