    Stalwart 813k USTS SUNY Maritime (ex-USNS Stalwart (T-AGOS-1)) tied up pierside at Throgs Neck, NY, 5 March 2008. Delivered to SUNY in 2004. The vessel was inoperable since the engines did not work and the vessel was mostly gutted after its decommissioning as a Naval vessel. The vessel was eventually sold to a private company specializing in Arctic research and was towed away from the Maritime College pier early in 2011.
