USS Corvus (AKA-26) was an Artemis-class attack cargo ship in service with the United States navy from 1944 to 1946.
Corvus then sailed for Pearl Harbor where, according to a crew member oral history, new engines were installed.
Corvus then returned to the West Coast for overhaul, and loaded Army men and supplies at Seattle sailing 15 June for Tinian, where she arrived 3 July.
The ship's captain said he could not tell anyone anything beyond the fact that because of the cargo they were carrying, World War II would be over two weeks after they were to have arrived on Tinian Island.
[1] Corvus sailed from Tinian 7 July 1945 carrying cargo for Guadalcanal, the Russell Islands, Samar, and Manus, and reported to Manila 30 August.
