SS ''Cape Island'' (AKR-10) was originally laid down for commercial service in 1976 as ''Illinois'', a Type C7 ship for the States Lines. It was launched and then needed to be used for military service transferred into the Naval Vessel Register (NVR)〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nvr.navy.mil/nvrships/details/AKR10.htm )〕 as the USNS ''Mercury'', as transport ship for vehicles, and other goods. The ship was returned to Crowley Liner Services of Jacksonville, Florida. In 1993 the ship was permanently transferred to the navy's roll as a ready reserve ship, and renamed ''Cape Island'' (T-AKR-10). The ''Cape Island'' remains laid up in a ready reserve state so that it may be activated in 5 days, if called upon. The ship is currently moored in Tacoma, WA. ==Further reading== *(Ship's official page on Military Sea Lift command ) *(Ship photo index ) NavSource Online: Service Ship Photo Archive *(Wikimapia site ) *(Naval Vessel Register ) 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 Island (T-AKR-10)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
