Macon. In...

"Panamerica" would have been considerble bigger with 205,000 cbm.

As a slide rule addict (and, by way of disclosure, an ordinary member of the Oughtred Society), I'm well aware of the slide rule's proud history in aerospace design and research. Now we know that it almost certainly wasn't all done with slide rules - log and trig tables, mechanical calculators...
Here is a comprehensive list of U.S. Navy designations, starting with the first attempt of a standardized system in 1922 and ending in 1962, when the DoD's tri-service system was introduced and the old types still in service redesignated.
Please note that:
