Re: My Father; Merritt Reed Saunders, GM 3 NAG 1941-46
A ship named Cape San Blas was launched in July of 1943. It was a C1-A type, of 6,440 listed displacement, was sold in 1947 and scrapped in 1968. I cannot find any history of its WWII travels. There was also a ship named San Blas sunk by U-boat 158 in 1942, but several of its crew were killed and I believe the survivors were picked up by a PBY patrol plane and flown to the US. U-boat Net has this ship listed. Cape San Blas is the name of a well-known Florida Cape. There is no record of any ship named Cape San Blast.
