Description: Two aviation logistics support ships are assigned to the Military Sealift Command Maritime Prepositioning Program. They carry aviation maintenance equipment in support of U.S. Marine Corps fixed and rotary wing aircraft.

Features: SS Wright and SS Curtiss are outfitted with both a stern ramp and side ports. Their roll-on/roll-off deck runs the complete length of the ship. When outfitted with mobile facilities, the ships can service aircraft while anchored offshore.

Background: SS Wright and SS Curtiss were assigned to Military Sealift Command's Maritime Prepositioning Program to enhance the U.S. Marine Corp's aviation maintenance support ability. SS Wright and SS Curtiss were converted by Todd Shipyards of Galveston, Texas in 1986 and 1987, respectively.
