The U.S.T. Atlantic class is a class of Ultra Large Crude Carriers (ULCC) comprising two ships, U.S.T. Atlantic and U.S.T. Pacific. A third vessel in the class was canceled before construction began. They were the largest ships ever built in the Western Hemisphere. Built by Newport News Shipbuilding, the only American shipbuilders with the facilities for ULCC construction, the two ships were constructed in 1978–1979. At full load, the ships drew nearly 75 feet (22.86 m) and were unable to visit any ports in the continental United States, unless lightered or light ship.
