Military Cargo Ship ''SS Cape Girardeau'' (1968) made by me! Please notice me when using my models for something! Credit goes to: nottamun and Smike for the components.
Delivered to the Maritime Administration (MARAD) in October 1968, the ship entered service with American Mail Lines as SS ALASKAN MAIL. Renamed SS PRESIDENT ADAMS on April 11, 1978, the ship continued civilian service until April 1988, when it was reaquired by MARAD. Renamed SS CAPE GIRARDEAU (T-AK 2039), the ship was subsequently berthed at Alameda, Calif., as part of the Military Sealift Command's Ready Reserve Force. In this role, the CAPE GIRARDEAU participated in Operation Desert Storm and from time to time joined naval exercises like RIMPAC 2004. Later withdrawn from the Ready Reserve Force, the ship was reassigned to the National Defense Reserve Fleet and is presently laid-up at Suisun Bay, Calif.
