Synopsis "SS Ohio"

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The SS Ohio was an oil tanker built for the Texas Oil Company; she was the largest oil tanker in the world at the time of construction. The tanker was launched on April 20, 1940 at the Sun Shipbuilding Yard in Chester, Pennsylvania, USA. SS Ohio was capable of doing over 16 knots at sea. The tanker would end up bound in the struggle for the re-supply of the island fortress of Malta, during the Second World War. The tanker played a fundamental role in Operation Pedestal, which is considered to be one of the fiercest and most heavily contested convoys in August 1942. Although Ohio reached Malta successfully, she was so badly damaged that she had to be effectively scuttled in order to offload her cargo, and she never sailed again. The tanker is fondly remembered in Malta, where to this day it is considered to be the saviour of the beleaguered islands.
