Remarks
USS General J. H. McRae (AP-149) was a General G. O. Squier-class transport ship built for the United States Maritime Commission during World War II.
During 1944 she sailed from US West Coast ports carrying troops to Honolulu, Hawaii and other Pacific Theater destinations. On 11 January 1945 she sailed for India where she picked up troops and delivered them to various South Pacific destinations.
She was decommissioned at New York City 27 February 1946 and was returned to War Shipping Administration (WSA) for peacetime operations as a United States Army Transport. She later served during the Korean War.
On 29 October 1954 the General J. H. McRae was inactivated and laid up in the Pacific Reserve Fleet at San Diego. Sold to commercial interests, her later names were SS Transhawaii, SS Agusdilla, SS Amco Voyager, and SS Voyager. Eventually sold for scrapping in Taiwan in October 1986
