Construction and commissioning edit

The ship was built in 1979 at the Odense Staalskibsvaerft A/S, Lindø, Denmark. She was put into the service of Maersk Line as Emma Mærsk.[4]

In 1983, she was acquired and chartered by the Navy under a long-term contract as MV PFC James. Anderson Jr. (AK-3002). The ship underwent conversion at the Bethlehem Steel at Sparrows Point, Massachusetts. She was assigned to Maritime Prepositioning Ship Squadron 3 and supported the US Marine Corps Expeditionary Brigade.[4]

On 21 September 1990, she unloaded military cargos in support of Operation Desert Storm.[5]

In 2009, the ship was struck from the Naval Register and later in August she was sold for scrap.[6]
