SS Audacious was a cargo ship used by the United States during World War II.
Audacious was bought by the US Government in 1941 from the Austro-Americana Line (Italian flag). The ship was originally built in 1913 and named Belvedere. Sailed from the port of Trieste in service to South America and New York City.
In June 1944, the ship, as the Audacious, was scuttled off the Normandy coast.
