  CAM ship - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A CAM ship was a World War II-era British merchant ship used in convoys as a quick emergency solution to the shortage of escort carriers.
"CAM" was an acronym for "Catapult Aircraft Merchantman" and a CAM ship was equipped with a rocket-propelled catapult launching a single Hawker Sea Hurricane, dubbed a "Hurricat" or "Catafighter".
The main purpose of CAM ships was to threaten the long range Focke-Wulf Fw 200 Condor reconnaissance aircraft flown by the Germans to shadow the convoys.

Shipping losses to December 1940 to U-boats alone were 2,606,000 tons, and when mines, bombers, surface raiders and E-boats were included the total rose to 4,523,000 tons.
This principal standardized ship was the 10,000 ton Emergency Cargo 2/large capacity, or EC2, and was based on a British tramp steamer designed in 1879, and was known as the Canadian Park and the United States Liberty ship.
The Liberty ship having a maximum speed of only eleven knots was of relatively easy prey for the U-boats and in early 1942 designs for a 15 knot ship, the Victory ship or VC2, were begun.

The main purpose of the CAM ship Hurricats was to destroy or at least deter the shadowing Condors, but sometimes they were used against torpedo- and dive-bombers as well.
