USTS Empire State VI (T-AP-1001), callsign KKFW, IMO number 5264510, is a troop ship of the United States Navy and training vessel of the United States Maritime Service. Construction and early yearsEmpire State VI was originally built for States Steamship Company in Newport News, Virginia at Newport News Shipbuilding and Drydock Company as a MARAD Type C4-S-1u[1] break bulk cargo freighter. She was delivered to the States Lines on 19 April 1962 as the SS Oregon, a name she kept until the vessel was purchased February 15, 1977 by Moore McCormack Lines who renamed the vessel Mormactide. She went to United States Lines in 1983 when USL purchased MML. Although not the last private owner of the vessel, Moore McCormack Lines was the last company to operate Empire State before being entered into government service, as USL only operated container ships. Government serviceIn 1986 the last private owner of the vessel, United States Lines, went bankrupt and turned over Mormactide to the Federal Government's Maritime Administration (MARAD). She was originally designated to be converted to an ammunition ship, USNS Cape Junction (T-AK-507?). Meanwhile, the vessel was laid up in the James River, National Defense Reserve Fleet, Fort Eustis, Virginia. In 1988 Mormactide was taken to Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin, and underwent a conversion to a Training Ship at Bay Shipbuilding Corporation. After the conversion Mormactide was renamed Empire State VI. She was delivered to the State University of New York Maritime College at Fort Schuyler[2] on New Year's Eve in 1989 to replace the slightly older Empire State V.[3] In 1994 Empire State VI was activated by MARAD to support the withdrawal of American troops from Mogadishu, Somalia. In the 2005 aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Rita which devastated the Gulf Coast, MARAD again activated Empire State VI.[4] The vessel provided housing and support for port workers and petroleum industry workers as they began repairs on strategic infrastructure and facilities in Louisiana.[5] In the fall of 2012, after Hurricane Sandy struck the New York/New Jersey area, the college offered the vessel to billet AmeriCorps - Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Corps and FEMA workers, from outside the region.[6] {{SS|Wright|T-AVB-3|6}} and TS Kennedy were also used to house FEMA workers, and between them the three ships housed 1,200 workers.In September 2017, following the impact of Hurricane Harvey on the Gulf Coast of the United States, MARAD again activated the ship in order to provide support for FEMA's operations in Texas.[7] However, after subsequent hurricanes made landfall in Florida and Puerto Rico the vessel was diverted to provide relief in the ports of Key West and San Juan.[8] Training voyageEach summer Empire State VI is activated for a 100-day training voyage. Students in the Regiment of Cadets operate the vessel for a summer sea term as part of their training requirements. The vessel is expected to begin its 2019 voyage on May 6.[9] In March 2019 the college announced the appointment of Captain Morgan McManus, SUNY Maritime College 1992 graduate, as the vessel's new master.[10] The ship holds the record as the longest serving power-driven vessel ever used by the school. While in very good condition given her age she still has a steam power plant while diesel power has long been the industry standard. Her emissions also exceed international standards and this has affected her training itineraries. In 2015 a Congressional committee examined the cost of replacing the vessels of the six maritime academies where the average vessel age was 35 years, and Empire State was the oldest at 53 years.[11] In March 2018 the US federal budget included funding to replace the aging training vessels with a National Security Multi-Mission Vessel design which are expected to enter service in 2022.[12] References1. ^{{cite web|title=Ships Built to MARAD Designs|url=http://www.shipbuildinghistory.com/history/merchantships/postwwii/marad.htm|publisher=Tim Colton, ShipbuildingHistory.com|accessdate=5 December 2012 | archivedate = 2012-12-12 | archiveurl = https://www.webcitation.org/query?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.shipbuildinghistory.com%2Fhistory%2Fmerchantships%2Fpostwwii%2Fmarad.htm&date=2012-12-12 | deadurl = No }} {{Commons category|Empire State (ship, 1962)}}2. ^{{cite web|title=Ft.
