''Sea Launch Commander'' is the command ship for Sea Launch. , she was registered in Liberia.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Sea Launch Commander )〕 Her home port is Long Beach, California. ==History== ''Sea Launch Commander'' was commissioned by Sea Launch, after Sea Launch was established in 1995 as a consortium of four companies from Norway, Russia, Ukraine and the United States, managed by Boeing with participation from the other shareholders. She was built by Kvaerner Govan Ltd at Govan shipyard in Glasgow, Scotland, and launched in 1997. In the fall of 1997, the ship sailed for Russia, where special equipment for handling rocket components and for commanding and controlling launches was installed and tested. She arrived in Long Beach, California, on 13 July 1998, after a voyage through the Panama Canal. The first rocket launch controlled by ''Sea Launch Commander'' was in March 1999. The ship originally carried colors representing the majority ownership of Sea Launch by a Ukrainian company. Following a 2009 bankruptcy of the company, Energia—which already owned 25% of Sea Launch—acquired a controlling interest of 85% in the Sea Launch company and therefore in ''Sea Launch Commander''. As a result, the company planned to begin land-based launches from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in early 2011, while sea-based launches were to resume in September 2011. The ship currently carries colors representing the majority ownership of Sea Launch by a Russian company.〔 〕 While docked in Long Beach in 2013, ''Sea Launch Commander'' served as a filming location for the Marvel film ''Captain America: The Winter Soldier'', portraying the fictional S.H.I.E.L.D. vessel ''Lemurian Star''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sea Launch Commander」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
