USNS Kingsport (T-AG-164)

USNS ''Kingsport'' (T-AG-164) was built as SS ''Kingsport Victory'', a United States Maritime Commission VC2-S-AP3 (Victory) type cargo ship. During the closing days of World War II the ship was operated by the American Hawaiian Steamship Company under an agreement with the War Shipping Administration. After a period of layup the ship was operated as USAT ''Kingsport Victory'' by the Army under bareboat charter effective 8 July 1948. When Army transports were transferred to the Navy's Navy's Military Sea Transportation Service the ship continued as a cargo transport as USNS ''Kingsport Victory'' (T-AK-239). On 14 November 1961, after conversion into the first satellite communication ship, the ship was renamed ''Kingsport'', preclassifird as a general auxiliary, and operated as USNS ''Kingsport'' (T-AG-164).
Assigned to duty supporting the U.S. Army Satellite Communications Agency USNS ''Kingsport'' was further modified and, in August 1963 while in Lagos harbor, transmitted the first satellite voice call between heads of state when John F. Kennedy and Nigerian Prime Minister Abubakar Balewa aboard ''Kingsport'' spoke in a two-way call. A demonstration of transmission of oceanographic data was made between a research vessel off Africa via the ship and satellite to Washington. The first air to ship satellite communication took place when Navy aircraft off Virginia established voice communication with ''Kingsport'' which was off Morocco. Further satellite communications work took place in the Pacific and Indian Oceans. ''Kingsport'' then supported Project Gemini into March 1966. After conversion from satellite configuration, particularly removal of the large and very visible dome, ''Kingsport'' was engaged in acoustic work for the Navy supporting undersea surveillance programs.
