Disagree The USAT Dorchester sank on February 3, 1943. The USS Dorchester (APB-46) was not launched until April 12, 1945. See also the disambiguation page USS Dorchester, which explains the difference in USAT vs USS. -- MrDolomite | Talk 19:02, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

"SG-19 consisted of six ships: Dorchester, two merchant ships leased by the United States from the Norwegian government-in-exile, SS Lutz, and SS Biscaya." So, where's the other ship then? Or were there actually five ships?
