The ship is fairly obscure in readily available pre-war sources, apparently being a minor element of the two fleets before sale to Philippine interests when almost 30 years old. There is almost nothing about the ship beyond the outline of Army use 1943 to 1945, Grover notes that was obscure even by SWPA local fleet standards, yet apparently over a decade elapsed before scrapping. There may be mention in Philippine sources unavailable on line (Some help there from Philippine project people?) as one would think a ship with that brief highlight in Philippine Red Cross and war history would get some mention. The only reasonably well documented segment of this ship's long life was that one voyage leaving a burning Manila and twenty-seven days under rather dramatic conditions to Australia as a hospital ship and even the Philippine Diary Project seems to drop the ship's fate post war.
