The United States of America (USA), commonly referred to as the United States (U.S.) or America, is a federal republic composed of 50 states, a federal district, five major territories and various possessions. The 48 contiguous states and Washington, D.C., are in central North America between Canada and Mexico. The state of Alaska is in the northwestern part of North America and the state of Hawaii is an archipelago in the mid-Pacific. The territories are scattered about the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. At 3.8 million square miles (9.842 million km2) and with over 320 million people, the country is the world's third or fourth-largest by total area and the third most populous. It is one of the world's most ethnically diverse and multicultural nations, the product of large-scale immigration from many countries. The geography and climate of the United States are also extremely diverse, and the country is home to a wide variety of wildlife.
SS American Star may refer to:
SS United States is a luxury passenger liner built in 1952 for United States Lines designed to capture the trans-Atlantic speed record.
Built at a cost of $79.4 million ($724 million in today's dollars) the ship is the largest ocean liner constructed entirely in the U.S. and the fastest ocean liner to cross the Atlantic in either direction. Even in her retirement, she retains the Blue Riband, the accolade given to the passenger liner crossing the Atlantic Ocean in regular service with the highest speed.
Her construction was subsidized by the U.S. government, since she was designed to allow conversion to a troopship should the need arise.United States operated uninterrupted in transatlantic passenger service until 1969. Since 1996 she has been docked at Pier 82 on the Delaware River in Philadelphia.
Inspired by the exemplary service of the British liners RMS Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth, which transported hundreds of thousands of U.S. troops to Europe during World War II, the U.S. government sponsored the construction of a large and fast merchant vessel that would be capable of transporting large numbers of soldiers. Designed by renowned American naval architect and marine engineer William Francis Gibbs (1886–1967), the liner's construction was a joint effort between the United States Navy and United States Lines. The U.S. government underwrote $50 million of the $78 million construction cost, with the ship's operators, United States Lines, contributing the remaining $28 million. In exchange, the ship was designed to be easily converted in times of war to a troopship with a capacity of 15,000 troops, or to a hospital ship .
So we finally got around to seeing this little landmark... and even though unfortunately the ship is now pretty much all underwater, just seeing a tiny bit of it sticking out of the waves was very eerie indeed. Awesome little place. And forgive me for zooming in on pretty much the wrong place... the sun glare was bad that day.
Urban Exploration : Exploring Decaying SS United States Ocean Liner Ship A few months ago, I was given the opportunity to check out the decaying SS Unites States Ocean liner. This ocean liner has been sitting in Philadelphia Pennsylvania since 1996. This ship is currently off limits to the public. It is located on a private shipyard shared with the US Govt. I had to undergo background checks to even step foot on the port. Exploring this one without permission is straight up impossible so DO NOT ATTEMPT! The SS United States is one of the last remaining Ocean Liners. SSUS was part of the United States Lines Fleet. The ships first maiden voyage was in 1952. The ship is about 990 feet long (5 City Blocks) and it is built by famous naval architect, William Gibbs. The SS United States was bui...
«Аме́рика» (англ. «SS America»), также известный как «Звезда́ Аме́рики» (англ. «American Star») — океанский лайнер, построенный для судоходной компании «United States Lines». За свою историю, начиная с его постройки в 1938 году и вплоть до его крушения в 1994 году, судно сменило множество названий. Среди них были: «Уэ́ст По́йнт» (англ. «USS West Point»), «Австра́лис» (англ. «SS Australis»), «И́талис» (англ. «SS Italis»), «А́льфердосс» (англ. «SS Alferdoss»).

This is the story of the S.S. America from 1939 to the present. America is one of the more famous, modern day shipwrecks in the world. She is currently located off the coast of Africa on the beach of Fuerteventura in the Canary Islands.
Thanks to a refit by William Francis Gibbs the one-time SS VATERLAND of Hamburg-Amerika became the US Lines flagship LEVIATHAN after the Great War. By the 1930s that Edwardian era liner was suffering from a decline in passenger numbers much like her Ballin-trio sisters BERENGARIA and MAJESTIC. Those vessels would be replaced by Cunard's famous Queens. Although she was much smaller than the British superliners the Gibbs designed SS AMERICA was one of the finest vessels to ever fly the American flag. Over the decades she has been overshadowed by her running mate UNITED STATES, but she is no less worthy of admiration. She may have lacked the size and speed of her fleet-mate but she featured beautiful interiors. In contrast to the restrained and almost stark appearance of the Big U her interio...

Es war das grösste, das schnellste, das schönste Passagierschiff der Welt, Stolz der amerikanischen Nation und Geheimwaffe im Kalten Krieg: Die “SS United States”, gebaut 1952. Doch das einstige Aushängeschild der Supermacht ist in Vergessenheit geraten. Es liegt heute in einer abgelegenen Gegend am Hafen von Philadelphia. Seine gigantische Silhouette erhebt sich zwischen Containern und Lagerhallen. Seit über 40 Jahren war die “United States” nicht auf See. Um ein Haar wäre sie an Alteisenhändler verkauft worden, doch jetzt gibt es wieder Hoffnung für das Schiff. Deutsche Dokumentation über einen Transatlantik -Liner

Grandeur et décadence de l'un des paquebots américain le plus sophistiqué et le plus sur, L'America fut lancé en 1940. Il fut le plus grand navire pour le transport des passagers de l'époque. Il fit naufrage en 1994 aux îles Canaries.
