USS Jekyl (AG-135/AKL-6) was a Camano-class cargo ship constructed for the U.S. Army as USA FS-282 shortly before the end of World War II and later acquired by the U.S. Navy in 1947.
She was configured as a transport and cargo ship and was assigned post-war to support various island outposts in the Pacific Ocean.
Jekyl (AG-135) was built in 1944 by Wheeler Shipbuilding Corp., Long Island, New York, for the U.S. Army and served as USAT FS-282 until being transferred to the Navy at Guam 22 February 1947.
The ship also transported officials of the civil governments and helped carry native products as America began to restore normal life to the ravaged Pacific.
She remained extant for the next several decades carrying various names, including Sea Princess II, Nilo, Betty K IV, and Hope I.
