T-AOT 94 Valiant

The T-AOT mission is to provide transportation and storage of bulk petroleum products. The T-AOT ships comprise both commercially-owned and -operated ships chartered by the U.S. Government, and Government-owned ships operated by civilian crews, all under the administrative control of the Commander, Military Sealift Command (COMSC). As commercial ships, the T-AOT class ships are civilian manned in accordance with regulatory requirements, and time charters or operating contracts.

Military Sealift Command time-charters in FY 2000 included the 50,000-barrel tanker MV Valiant for use in shallow-draft ports in the Far East.
