The fast sealift ship SS Capella, assigned to the Maritime Administration’s Ready Reserve Force, returns to the Port of Alameda in California after completing a 120-hour turbo activation, Oct. 3, 2016. The U.S. Transportation Command conducts turbo activation to measure personnel and material readiness of the selected Ready Reserve Force. Capella, more than 40 years old, is still among the fastest cargo ships in the world and capable of transporting nearly all equipment needed to outfit a full mechanized brigade of the U.S. Army.
