 although these ships are currently abandoned they could be brought back to life at any given moment the United States Navy Reserve fleet also known as the mothball fleet is kept under maintenance that ensures the vessels can be activated in the case of an emergency however most of the ships eventually become too old to be worth keeping and are used as scrap metal or in weapons testing but they have come in handy during some situations such as the Korean War after World War two hundreds of vessels were no longer required so many of them were put into storage at these reserve sites most of these were in the Liberty ships class meaning that they were mass-produced and used mainly for transporting people to and from the United States Russia and Europe however most of the boats were deactivated in the 1970s number 6 SS American star this ocean liner was built in 1940 it was initially called the SS America but went on to be called several different names including the USS West Point SS Australis SS Noga SS Alfred AHS and SS American star it was built to hold a total of 1845 people including the crew members the SS America is partially known for the two German spies Stiegler in Ziegler that were working undercover as seamen in the Duke n spiring the ship was later expanded for use by the Navy to carry troops and could then fit over 7600 people fast forward to the 1980s and silver moon fairies purchased the vessel during its time with the company the then SS Alfred Oz experienced a burst pipe that flooded some crew quarters and the engine room it was going to be scrapped but the merchant that bought it pulled out in August 1993 the boat was named the American star after its tow from Greece began in December 1993 it got caught up in a thunderstorm in the Atlantic Ocean the tow lines proceeded to break and to reattach them proved hopeless in January 1994 the crew was rescued via helicopter the ship was abandoned and wrecked in the Canary Islands just off the coast of where to Ventura within two days the American star was broken into two pieces by powerful waves as of 2013 the ship had collapsed to the point that it was no longer visible on Google Maps number 5 MV e-even Julia this
