Type C7 ship : ウィキペディア英語版 | Type C7 ship The Type C7 ship ''(Lancer Class)'' is a United States Maritime Administration (MARAD) designation for a cargo ship and the first purpose-built container ship. The vessels were constructed in US shipyards and entered service starting in 1968. As US-built ships they were Jones Act qualified for shipments between US domestic ports. Under the Jones Act domestic US maritime trade is restricted to US-built and flagged vessels of US owners and manned by predominantly US-citizen crews. The last active ''Lancer'' container configured ships were operated as late as 2014 by Horizon Lines. ''Lancers'' of the vehicle Roll-on/Roll-off (RO/RO) configuration remain held in the Ready Reserve Force, National Defense Reserve Fleet and the US Navy Military Sealift Command. All are steam powered.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.navy.mil/navydata/fact_display.asp?cid=4600&tid=200&ct=4 )〕 ==United States Lines C7-S-68 Series== Eight Type C7-S-68 ships were built by Sun Shipbuilding for the United States Lines and entered service from 1968 to 1971. Upon the bankruptcy and dissolution of the company the ships were sold to other carriers. The design proved very reliable as all of the ''Lancer Class'' vessels operated until at least 2002. In October 2014 the last active '68 series Lancer ''Horizon Discovery'', was delivered to the Bay Bridge Scrapyard in Brownsville, Texas. "..the ''Lancers'' revolutionized shipping as being the first true large (at that time) container ships. (were ) built for U.S. Lines and ran on the East Coast to Far East run for many years...''Discovery'' also served in Desert Storm. Her keel was laid exactly 47 years ago on 10/26/1967..It has been an honor taking this grand ole girl to her final resting place. She sure had a good run for many years. Instead of going down kicking and screaming she ran proud and well right to the very end and went down easy." - Captain Bill Boyce
