The Alaska-class oil tanker is a class of VLCC tankers built by National Steel and Shipbuilding Company, San Diego. The tankers are double-hulled as mandated by the Oil Pollution Act of 1990, and will replace the existing fleet used by BP in the Alaskan area.[1]
Four ships have been completed: Alaskan Frontier, Alaskan Explorer, Alaskan Navigator, and Alaskan Legend.
The design was the basis of the Montford Point class of Mobile Landing Platforms for the US Navy.
