SS Altair (T-AKR-291)
SS ''Altair'' (T-AKR 291) is an ''Algol'' class vehicle cargo ship that is currently maintained by the United States Maritime Administration as part of the Military Sealift Command's Ready Reserve Force (RRF). She was built as a high speed container ship by Rheinstahl Nordseewerke in Emden, West Germany, hull no. 431, for Sea-Land Service, Inc. and named SS ''Sea-Land Finance'', USCG ON 550722, IMO 7315571.〔Cudahay 206 p. 266〕 Due to her high operating cost, she was sold to the United States Navy on 5 January 1982 as USNS ''Altair'' (T-AK-291).
In keeping with the pattern of the naming the Algol-class ships after bright stars, the ''Altair'' was named after Altair, the brightest star in the constellation Aquila and the twelfth brightest star in the night sky.
==Conversion==
Conversion began on 28 July 1984 at Avondale Shipyards in New Orleans, Louisiana. Her cargo hold was redesigned into a series of decks connected by ramps so vehicles can be driven into and out of the cargo hold for fast loading and unloading. She was also fitted with two sets of two cranes; one set located at midship capable of lifting 35 tons, and another set located aft capable of lifting 50 tons.〔 She was delivered to the Military Sealift Command on 13 November 1985 as USNS ''Altair'' (T-AKR 291).
