USAS AMERICAN MARINER
The refurbished World War II Liberty Ship, the SS George Calvert, existed as the USAS (United States Army Ship) American Mariner only from early 1959 to December 31, 1963. During this period, she was assigned to DAMP Project by ARPA (Advanced Research Projects Agency, now known as Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or DARPA), to attempt to collect radar signature data on incoming intercontinental ballistic missiles in the Caribbean, the South Atlantic Ocean, and the Indian Ocean.
