Variant names
The North Carolina Shipbuilding Company was a subsidiary firm of the Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company of Newport News, VA. This organization arose out of the need for increased shipping brought on by World War II. NCSC produced a total of 243 ships between the years of 1941 and 1946. The ships produced were all cargo-type vessels, largely of the well-known Liberty ship variety and C-2, the more powerful successor to the Liberty.
