Information about Army Freight Boats (F boats) in the Pacific

Post by PacificSouthWest »

Does anyone here have any information about the US Army Freight Boats (F-Boats) that operated in the Pacific during the war? Information such as crew complements, ports of call, etc. I'm very interested in learning about the crews themselves (ranks, number of men aboard, positions). I'm not referring to the larger FS ships (Freight and Supply), but rather the 99' freight boats. I know most Army ships were manned by the Coast Guard and, to a lesser extent, the Navy from 1943. I attached a link to a photo of an F-boat here: https://www.ibiblio.org/hyperwar/USCG/V ... -II-40.jpg.
