The Texas A&M Maritime Academy on the Galveston Campus of Texas A&M University has received notification from the U.S. Department of Transportation Maritime Administration (MARAD) that the National Security Multi-Mission Vessel (NSMV) expected to arrive on campus in 2025 will be named the Lone Star State.

Texas A&M University’s maritime academy is closer than any time in the past 15 years to being able to dock a training ship in Galveston.

The Consortium of State Maritime Academies applauds yesterday's announcement that the Philly Shipyard in Philadelphia, PA has been selected to build the nation's new National Security Multi-mission Vessel (NSMV) fleet.
