🛳 Last Friday marked a historic moment for the U.S. maritime industry! We're proud to celebrate the delivery of the second National Security Multi-Mission Vessel (NSMV), PATRIOT STATE, to the Massachusetts Maritime Academy. On her first night in port, the PATRIOT STATE was greeted by the awe-inspiring northern lights, illuminating the sky in a dazzling display. A fitting welcome for a vessel that’s set to transform U.S. maritime training. With its cutting-edge technology, the PATRIOT STATE will empower cadets to gain hands-on experience and prepare to lead the future of the global maritime industry. A huge thank you to everyone involved in making this happen—your dedication is helping secure the future of the U.S. Merchant Marine! ⚓
