Notes |
The career of the American Racer demonstrates how rapidly the technology of international shipping changed in the mid 1960s as companies worldwide adopted intermodal, containerized freight handling. Although state-of-the-art when new in 1964, the ship was essentially a traditional break-bulk freighter, although its hatch and hold dimensions were calculated to accommodate shipping containers if needed. In February 1966 -just fifteen months after the ship entered service - United States Lines, its owners, modified it to carry more than 200 containers but retained some of its break-bulk capacity. Twenty-eight months later, this mixed arrangement had proven uneconomical, so the company converted the ship back to full break-bulk stowage and chartered it to the U.S. government for use in the sealift of materiel to Vietnam. The movement of world shipping toward containers had rendered the American Racer obsolete for commercial liner service in less than four years. United States Lines traded the ship in to the government in 1983, after more than a decade on charter, and the American Racer has remained ever since in the reserve fleet at Suisun Bay, California.
