USS Sea Foam (IX-210)
The USS Sea Foam (IX-210) was an unclassified miscellaneous vessel of the United States Navy during World War II. Originally built as a Liberty Ship, she was designated EC2-S-C1, a type of merchant vessel. She was converted for specialized service, likely related to experimental research and development, although specific details about her mission remain scarce due to the classified nature of her activities.
Commissioned in 1945, the USS Sea Foam (IX-210) operated primarily in the Pacific Theater. Her "IX" designation indicates her role as an unclassified miscellaneous auxiliary vessel, meaning she did not fit neatly into any of the standard naval vessel categories. This often denoted vessels used for testing, research, or other unique tasks.
Following the end of World War II, the USS Sea Foam (IX-210) was decommissioned and eventually disposed of. Due to the secrecy surrounding her operations, a comprehensive service history is not publicly available, contributing to her relative obscurity compared to other vessels of the era. Her legacy primarily resides in historical naval records and the limited documented information regarding unclassified auxiliary vessels.
