SS Columbia, Designed in 1911, redesigned April of 1912, keel laid down 1914, and completed in 1920, she came just in time to meet the economic boom of the 20s! The Prides of the the United States Lines, and America's Trans-Atlantic dream of Monopoly, the Columbia was the only real 4 stacker project for the United States. Along with her sisters America and United States, Columbia would run from New York City, to Halifax, then to Queenstown, Southampton, Cherbourg, and back to New York City. the Tri-Fecta was a completed dream until 1939. In 1939, the three would be relegated to simple cruises from New York to Panama. In 1941, when pearl harbour was attacked, Columbia and her sister America were in New York while United States was in Panama. United States rushed to New York as America and Columhia were stripped of their fixtures and replaced with standard grey bunks. The trio would sailed from New York to North Africa for the North African Campaign. The three would be quickly struck to two in a convoy raid in July 1942, leaving America out of action for a month just long enough to miss out on Operation Pedestal. In January 1945, The Trio were pulled into the pacific as Japan was seen as the last villain. On April 7th, just minutes after Yamato was sunk, Columbia, and United States were rocked by Kamikaze, specifically one D3A1 Val a piece. Whilst Columbia was relatively unharmed, United States would capsize 45 degrees
