SS Algol (T-AKR-287)
SS ''Algol'' (T-AKR 287) 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. She was built as a high speed container ship by Rotterdamsche D.D.Mij N.V. in Rotterdam, Netherlands, hull no. 331, for Sea-Land Service, Inc. and named SS ''Sea-Land Exchange'', USCG ON 546383, IMO 7303205.〔Cudahay 2006 p. 265〕 Due to her high operating cost, ''Sea-Land Exchange'' was sold to the United States Navy in October 1981 as USNS ''Algol'' (T-AK-287).〔
In keeping with the pattern of the naming the Algol-class ships after bright stars, the ''Algol'' was named after the bright eclipsing binary star Algol, known colloquially as the Demon Star, which is a bright star in the constellation Perseus.
==Conversion==
Conversion began on 13 October 1982 at National Steel and Shipbuilding in San Diego, California. 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 in 1984 as USNS ''Algol'' (T-AKR 287).
