About REGULUS
SS Regulus (T-AKR 292) 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 (RRF). She was built as a high-speed container ship by A.G. Weser in Bremen, West Germany, hull no. 1383, for Sea-Land Service, Inc. and named SS Sea-Land Commerce, USCG 545200, IMO 7302897. As the first of her class in service in Pacific Ocean trades, her owners were eager to showcase her abilities and so ordered that in June and August of 1973 the vessel would attempt to set a new record for cargo ships crossing the Pacific Ocean. Clearing Race Rocks Light and arriving at Osaka, Japan in 5 days 23 hours and 30 minutes at an average speed of 30.32 knots, she claimed the Westbound record, only to reload and head back East in August.
