In brief

About USNS Yano

Full article ↗

USNS Yano (T-AKR-297) was originally constructed as the container ship Leise Maersk in 1980. In 1987, the ship was lengthened and again in the 1990s before it was purchased by the United States Navy. When the transfer was complete, the ship underwent a conversion to a large, medium-speed, roll-on/roll-off ship at NASSCO.

How USNS Yano compares

Every figure in this section is a count, a rank or a percentile over vessels actually held in this registry — not over the world fleet, which is larger. Nothing here is estimated.

At 62,756 gross tons, USNS Yano is the 7,473rd largest of the 84,014 vessels in this registry that report a tonnage. The median across that set is 5,994 GT, so this hull is about 10 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.

Among the 58,086 vessels this registry holds no type classification for held here, it ranks 4,071st by tonnage — larger than 92% of that group. Their median tonnage is 5,358 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 54,309 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Panama (5,698 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is HD Hyundai Mipo, with 615 hulls on record.

United States is the country of registry for 2,278 vessels in this directory, of which USNS Yano is the 44th largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (977 ships), and the median vessel measures 1,706 GT. Browse every ship flagged United States.

Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 977 vessels this registry holds no type classification for flying the United States flag, of which 15 are larger by tonnage.

USNS Yano was built in 1980, making it 46 years old. It is one of 1,736 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 2,301 GT; within it this ship is the 15th largest. Across the whole of the 1980s the registry holds 13,213 vessels, median 3,004 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.

The registry attributes 190 vessels to Odense Steel Shipyard, with a median tonnage of 52,186 GT, delivered between 1924 and 2012. See the rest of that yard’s output.

At 276.0 m overall, USNS Yano is 161.0 m longer than the 115.0 m median for vessels this registry holds no type classification for on record, with a beam of 106.0 m and a draft of 34.0 m.

IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 7825409 this registry holds 50 other vessels, whose median build year is 1979 and which range from 1978 to 1996. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 1980.

Its IMO number, 7825409, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 7×7 + 8×6 + 2×5 + 5×4 + 4×3 + 0×2 = 139 — and the last digit of that total, 9, must equal the seventh digit, 9. It does, so this number is well formed.
