War Bayonet, a 1984 gross ton steam cargo ship built at Toledo, Ohio, in 1917 was renamed Lake Superior by the United States Shipping Board soon after completion. She was acquired by the Navy in December 1917 and commissioned as USS Lake Superior (ID # 2995) in late January 1918. Serving with the Naval Overseas Transportation Service, she carried gasoline to Bermuda and coal to Halifax in February and March. In May, the ship crossed the Atlantic to Scotland with a cargo of mines and made two more such voyages between July and December 1918. Thereafter, she transported coal, aviation equipment and other cargo in the western Atlantic and Caribbean area. USS Lake Superior was decommissioned at the end of July 1919 and returned to the Shipping Board. In subsequent civilian employment she was named C.D. Johnson III and Anna Schafer. In 1942 the ship was reacquired by the Navy and commissioned as USS Tuluran (AG-46). After serving through the rest of World War II, she was sold for scrapping in December 1946.
