The SS Cape Mohican (T-AKR-5065) is a steam turbine powered heavy-lift Seabee barge carrier, one of two ships of her type in the Military Sealift Command's Ready Reserve Force.

The Cape Mohican was the source of a 1996 spill of 40,000 gallons of heavy fuel oil in San Francisco Bay causing $3.625 million in natural resources damages.

[1][2] On July 9, 2021, the Cape Mohican was towed by a seagoing tug boat out of San Francisco Bay, on its way via the Panama Canal to Texas, where it will be broken down and recycled.

[3] Although the spill was modest even in the local history of the Bay (it was the largest to take place there between 1988 and 2007), it still polluted 120 miles of shoreline and killed at least hundreds of birds.

[3] In 1998, the Maritime Administration and San Francisco Dry Dock Inc. paid a court settlement of $8 million, which was split roughly evenly between a fund for environmental restoration and reimbursement to agencies involved in the cleanup.
