List of Liberty ships (B)

This is a partial list of Liberty ships, specifically those whose names begin with the letter "B". Liberty ships were a class of cargo ship built in the United States during World War II. They were designed to be simple, inexpensive, and quick to build, and played a crucial role in supplying the Allied war effort.

This list includes the ship's name, hull number (often followed by a suffix like "EC2" indicating a standardized Emergency Cargo ship design), and potentially information about the ship's fate or significant events in its service history. Information presented here is subject to constant updates and may not be fully comprehensive. Further research is always encouraged.

Typical information provided (when available) for each ship will include:

• Ship Name: The official name given to the Liberty ship.
• Hull Number: The identification number assigned during construction.
• Builder: The shipyard where the ship was constructed.
• Fate: Information about the ship's ultimate disposition – whether it was scrapped, sunk, converted to another use, or its fate is unknown.

Some notable ships on this list might include those named after prominent figures, or ships that were involved in significant wartime events. The sheer number of Liberty ships built means that detailed information about each one is not always readily available, and details might vary across different sources. Further research may be necessary for deeper understanding.
