Bath Iron Works Production Record


Part 2: Hull 117 through Hull 276
(1927 through 1946)


This is a complete list of all Bath Iron Works production, listed in order by BIW hull number. Small repair or overhaul jobs that were not assigned hull numbers are not included.

This list was compiled and is maintained by Andrew Toppan, using sources listed at the bottom of the document.

The first column is the Bath Iron Works hull number, followed by the vessel's name, the type/size/class of the vessel, the owner/customer for the vessel, the type of work done (new construction, overhaul, etc.), the date the vessel was delivered, and the fate or status of the vessel. For ships that remain in existence the current name is listed in the status/fate column; if no name is listed, the vessel retains its original name.

For conversions, repairs, etc., the vessel's new name (at completion) is listed under "name", the original name and description are listed under "type", and the nature of the conversion is listed under "work type"; the date given is for redelivery or completion, as appropriate.
