Maine (AK-33/TAK-5021) was a breakbulk carrier in the Ready Reserve Fleet, Beaumont, TX. She was activated for Desert Shield/Storm on 13 September 1990, but did not participate. She does not appear in the Dictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships, but she does appear in the Jane's Fighting Ships. She first appears in the 1984-85 edition (p. 737) as being in the Ready Reserve Fleet classified as AK and remains listed through the 1992-93 edition (p.791), as TAK 5021. Thereafter she is not listed in Jane's. There is a Maine listed in Jane's Merchant Ships 1985-86 built in 1944 with significant modification in 1967. She has a long list of former names including Seatrain Maine.
