Military Cargo Vessel "Cape Blanco" (1966) made by me, please credit me and/or ask for using the model for something. Credit goes to; Nottamun. Mike for the added components.
The break-bulk cargo ship Cape Blanco was originally built as the SS Mason Lykes at the Avondale Shipyards in Avondale, Louisiana in 1965. The ship was delivered to its owner, Lykes Brothers Steamship Company on September 20, 1966.
Mason Lykes was one of a number of ships acquired by the Maritime Administration in 1985 and assigned to its Ready Reserve Force (RRF). The Mason Lykes was renamed "Cape Blanco".
Cape Blanco was downgraded in 2003 and was laid up in the Suisun Bay Reserve fleet until it was sold for scrap in 2016. It was broken up at Brownsville, Texas in 2016.
