SS Capella (T-AKR-293)
SS ''Capella'' (T-AKR 293) 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 Rotterdamsche D.D.Mij N.V. in Rotterdam, Netherlands, hull no. 330, for Sea-Land Service, Inc. and named SS ''Sea-Land McLean'', USCG ON 540413, IMO 7223508, after Sea-Land's founder Malcom McLean.〔Cudahay 206 p. 265〕 Due to her high operating cost, she was sold to the United States Navy on 16 April 1982 as USNS ''Capella'' (T-AK-293).
In keeping with the pattern of the naming the Algol-class ships after bright stars, the ''Capella'' was named after Capella, the brightest star in the constellation Auriga, the sixth brightest in the night sky.
==Conversion==
Conversion began on 23 October 1982 at Pennsylvania Shipbuilding in Chester, Pennsylvania. 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 1 July 1984 as USNS ''Capella'' (T-AKR 293).
