About SS Empire Javelin

SS Empire Javelin was an Infantry Landing Ship designated an "LSI (Large)" in service with the UK in the latter part of World War II. Launched on 25 October 1943, she was a United States Maritime Commission C1-S-AY1 subtype, one of thirteen similar ships built by Consolidated Steel Corporation. SS Empire Javelin served as a troop ship in Operation Overlord, starting with the initial landings on the beaches on 6 June 1944 ("D-Day"). She was lost on 28 December 1944 while in convoy to France with 1,483 troops aboard somewhere around the midpoint between Southampton, southern England, and Le Havre, France. She may have been torpedoed by German submarine U-322, active in the area on the same day, or struck a mine.
