Summary "A Brief History of the U. S. S. Imperator, One of the Two Largest Ships in the U. S. Navy" is a historical account that delves into the story of the U.S.S. Imperator, a massive naval transport ship initially commissioned in the early 20th century. Written in the early 20th century, likely during or shortly after World War I, the book chronicles the Imperator’s transition from a German ocean liner to a prominent vessel in the U.S. Navy. The likely topic of the book revolves around the ship’s specifications, operational history, and the significant role it played in transporting troops and supplies during wartime. In this narrative, the U.S.S. Imperator is introduced as one of the largest ships in the world, detailing its impressive dimensions, capabilities, and modifications made after being acquired by the U.S. Navy. The book highlights Captain Casey B. Morgan's leadership and recounts the ship's maiden voyage, which included transporting soldiers and civilians back to the United States after the war. It contrasts the Imperator with its sister ship, the U.S.S. Leviathan, detailing the successes and operational challenges faced by both vessels throughout their service. The text reflects on the broader context of naval logistics during World War I and celebrates the efforts of the Navy personnel involved in significant wartime undertakings.
