A search of Ancestry.com turns up a LT(jg) Richard Myers in command of the Armed Guard detachment on SS CARIBBEAN arriving in New York City in May 1943 and again in July 1943. The arrival in May 1943 was from Aruba, while the arrival in July was from Reykjavik, Iceland. The full name of the ship is possibly GULF CARIBBEAN, a Gulf Oil tanker that entered service in January 1943. (See http://shipbuildinghistory.com/history/shipyards/1major/inactive/sun.htm, hull #240.) That may be one of the tankers the names of which you are trying to find.
Thanks for the information on your book.
