The SS association, baptized in 1952, was once considered a beacon of the American engineering and double as a military ship that was able to wear thousands of troops. On his maiden voyage from New York to France in 1952, it smashed the transatlantic speed record into both directions when it reached an average speed of 36 knots or a little more than 41 km / h (66 km / h).

On this trip, the ship crossed the Atlantic in three days, 10 hours and 40 minutes and defeated the RMS Queen Mary's time by 10 hours. To this day, the SS United States, which is almost as large as the Chrysler building, keep the transatlantic speed record for an ocean tome.

It was originally developed for the transport of troops and was then redesigned to an Ocean Liner with passengers, which included four US presidents and celebrities.
