About USS Ryer

USS Ryer (AG-138/AKL-9) was a Camano-class cargo ship constructed for the U.S. Army as the Freight and Supply Ship USA FS-361 shortly before the end of World War II. On delivery the ship was U.S. Coast Guard crewed and assigned to serve the Southwest Pacific area during the war. The ship was acquired by the U.S. Navy in 1947, configured as a transport and cargo ship, named and was Commissioned, Miscellaneous Auxiliary, USS Ryer (AG-138), 8 June 1947 and reclassified Light Cargo Ship, (AKL-9), 31 March 1949. After that, it was converted to drill ship Caldrill I, one of the first equipped with dynamic positioning (DP), and to West I as fish processing vessel that on its last trip became part of an insurance fraud by Thomas Edward Utter, described in Trail of the Fox by Lawrence Eric Taylor.
