USS Antelope, a non-self-propelled dry cargo storage vessel, was built at Richmond, California, in 1943 as the "Liberty" ship M.H. de Young. Torpedoed by the Japanese submarine I-19 in the South Pacific on 14 August 1943, she was towed to Espiritu Santo, New Hebrides. The Navy took her over under charter in October 1943 and placed her in service under the name Antelope. She spent the rest of World War II at Espiritu Santo and in the Philippines as a stationary storage hulk. Antelope was placed out of service in May 1946 and transferred to the Maritime Commission. Sold for scrapping in 1948, she was broken up in China in about 1950.
