Why is this ship so important?

The Lone Star State is officially christened. This new National Security Multi-Mission Vessel marks a historic milestone for Texas A&M Maritime College by ushering in a new era of training for 600 future merchant mariners.

These mariners strengthen America’s supply chains, bolster national defense, and keep our maritime industry dominant on the world stage. ⚓️
