The 648-foot Roll-on/roll-off and container ship MV Cape Ray (T-AKR-9679), built in 1977, was previously known as MV Saudi Makkah and MV Seaspeed Asia.[2] She can carry 1,315 contiainers and have both bow and stern thrusters.[2]
After being acquired in 29 April 1994[1], MV Cape Ray (T-AKR-9679) was in the Ready Reserve Force.[3] She is generally used to transport vehicles to war zones from the United States.[4]
Syrian weapons destruction
The ship has been outfitted by Army civilians with two portable hydrolysis systems designed to neutralize chemical weapons in Syria's arsenal.[4]
The MV Cape Ray (T-AKR-9679) will participate in a United Nations mission to destroy Syria's chemical weapons stockpile.[4] Approximately 60 Army civilians will be aboard the vessel when it receives an official order to support this joint mission[4] under the command of Rick Jordan.[5]
