In context

How USS Caledonia compares

Every figure in this section is a count, a rank or a percentile over vessels actually held in this registry — not over the world fleet, which is larger. Nothing here is estimated.

United States is the country of registry for 2,278 vessels in this directory. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (977 ships), and the median vessel measures 1,706 GT. Browse every ship flagged United States.

Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 121 general cargos flying the United States flag.

USS Caledonia was built in 1945, making it 81 years old. It is one of 191 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 3,923 GT. Across the whole of the 1940s the registry holds 1,039 vessels, median 4,053 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.

The registry attributes 8 vessels to Richmond Shipyards, delivered between 1944 and 1945. See the rest of that yard’s output.

At 103.2 m overall, USS Caledonia is 2.2 m longer than the 101.0 m median for general cargos on record.

IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 5216240 this registry holds 10 other vessels, whose median build year is 1946 and which range from 1941 to 1961. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 1945.

Its IMO number, 5216240, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 5×7 + 2×6 + 1×5 + 6×4 + 2×3 + 4×2 = 90 — and the last digit of that total, 0, must equal the seventh digit, 0. It does, so this number is well formed.

No ship class is recorded for this vessel, so these are not asserted to be sister ships — they are contemporaries from the same builder, shown because that is what the data supports.
