Description
This class were the first US purpose-built container ships, all previous container ships having been conversions from traditional break-bulk cargo ships of the C3 and C4 Mariner classes. The Lancers proved exceptionally successful and all members of the class stayed in service until the 2000s, with the last in class scrapped in 2014.
