Operator: Moore McCormack Lines Inc, New York; Flag: USA.
Built 1964 by Ingalls Shipbuilding Corp, Pascagoula, Mississippi, USA.
Like nearly all US-flag ships at that time, MORMACLYNX was steam-turbine driven. In this case, two GE turbines developed 19,000shp, to give a speed of 24 knots.
Moore McCormack failed to meet the challenge of the new container age and withdrew from the Europe route in 1970. The company eventually closed in 1982, and MOMACLYNX was sold to US Lines as AMERICAN RESERVIST. In 1992 she took the name CORPUS CHRISTI until 1997, when she went to breakers at Alang, India.
