Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The ARC Freedom operates under the MSP, a federal program designed to maintain a fleet of commercially active U.S.-flag ships available for military sealift during national emergencies. This addition provides newer tonnage to the fleet sought by MARAD to support national security requirements.
