The SS ''Cape Inscription'' (AKR-5076) was originally launched in 1975 as the SS ''Maine'', a Type C7 commercial ship. The States SS company took the first contract in 1976 and it operated until January 29, 1979, when it was purchased by Whitney National Bank, it was then leased to Lykes Brothers steamship company and renamed the SS ''Tyson Lykes'' on February 23, 1979. On October 20 the Lykes Brothers purchased the ship from the Whitney National Bank. Later on September 1987 the ship was reacquired from its commercial roles and brought back under military control under the Maritime Administration and renamed the SS ''Cape Inscription''. Since then it has been kept in ready reserve status and used occasionally for heavy lifting operations to European theaters to have the equipment air-lifted to active engagements. ==External links== * http://www.msc.navy.mil/inventory/ships.asp?ship=38 Ship's official page on Military Sea Lift command * http://www.navsource.org/archives/09/54/545076.htm Ship photo index NavSource Online: Service Ship Photo Archive * http://wikimapia.org/5155486/SS-Cape-Isabel-AKR-5062-SS-Cape-Inscription-AKR-5076 Wikimapia site * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「SS Cape Inscription (T-AKR-5076)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
