The Design 1005 ship (full name Emergency Fleet Corporation Design 1005) was a wood-hulled cargo ship design approved for production by the United States Shipping Board's Emergency Fleet Corporation (EFT) in World War I. ^[1] The ships were referred to as the "Grays Harbor"-type as all were built by the Grays Harbor Motorship Company in Aberdeen, Washington ^[2] or the "Ward"-type after their designer M. R. Ward. The first ship of the class, the SS Wishkah, was listed at 2,924 gross tons with dimensions of 272.1 x 48.4 x 25.7, 1400 indicated horsepower, and carried a crew of 47. ^[3] The class does not include the four Design 1116 cargo ships also designed by Ward and completed at the shipyard as they were a modified design at 3,132 gross tons and 5,000 tons deadweight. ^[4] All ships were completed in 1918 or 1919. ^{[2] [5]}

Of the 17 ships ordered, all were completed and delivered to the USSB. ^[6]
