MarAd sends 66th reserve fleet vessel to scrap yard The U.S. Maritime Administration will release on Wednesday the 66th obsolete vessel from its James River Reserve Fleet in Virginia. The
trailership _Bayamon_ was built in 1970 by the Ship Shipbuilding Corp. of Chester, Pa. It will be dismantled by All Star Metals of Brownsville, Texas. All Star Metals purchased the ship
from MarAd for $12,221. The James River Reserve Fleet is one of three National Defense Reserve Fleets anchorage sites. MarAd maintains the fleet as a reserve of ships for national defense
and emergencies and arranges for their disposal when deemed obsolete.
