The Shughart class is a group of three Large, Medium-Speed Roll-on/Roll-off vehicle cargo ships of the United States Military Sealift Command. The lead ship, Shughart, was built in 1980 as the container ship Laura Maersk by the Lindoevaerftet yard of Odense Steel Shipyard in Denmark for the A. P. Moller-Maersk Group. She was lengthened in 1987 and again in the early 1990s by Hyundai, then delivered to the Military Sealift Command on 7 May 1996 and outfitted at the National Steel and Shipbuilding Company in San Diego. The class is diesel-powered, about 908.8 feet (277.0 m) long and 105.6 feet (32.2 m) wide. The three ships are USNS Shughart, USNS Yano, built as Leise Maersk, and USNS GySgt. Fred W. Stockham, built as Lica Maersk and once named Soderman. The ships are conversions of commercial container ships rather than purpose-built naval designs.
