MS Blenheim

My late father, Julian Wooten Bailey, a Pearl Harbor survivor, spoke fondly of this ship. He said it was a captured German vessel with an odd diesel engine that had to be stopped and restarted in the opposite direction to reverse the ship. He was either an Ens. or J.G. when he was assigned to help take that ship from England to North Africa with an Armed Guard unit. Is anyone familiar with this story?
