Ko te Whakamutunga whakamutunga o te kaipuke ko te Marae Panui i India
I tukuna te SS Independence i te wa o te haerenga moana i nga tau 1950, engari i tukuna ki te $ 78 miriona i roto i nga whakahoutanga mai i te tau 1994 ki te tau 2001 na ona rangatira. Ko te kaipuke tetahi o nga torutoru kaipuke nunui i hanga i roto i te United States, i hangaia i te Bethlehem Steel Company i Quincy, Massachusetts mo American Export Lines o New York. I whakaarohia kia whakamahia hei kaiwhangaweti tere-a-Atlantic - engari, i whai i nga korero a Navy a muri mai i te Pakanga Tuarua o te Ao ki te tuku i te huringa tere ki te kaipuke ope, me te kaha mo te 5,000 men me a ratou taputapu.
Ko nga tangata nei kua eke ki te kaipuke mai i te mea i hangaia e ia ki te kawe i te 1,100 nga kaipuke tere kaipuke. Ko te oko, pera i hangaia i mua, i hanga katoa i nga mea kore-tahu, i te ahi ranei, i te ahi-aukati i te ahi, me te whakakikorua i te raima hine - me nga ruma e rua mo te motumini mehemea ka pakaru tetahi, ka taea e te atu te pupuri i te kaipuke i te tere tere.
Ko te SS Independence i tere i tana haerenga i te marama o Hui-tanguru 1951, i rere mai i New York City ki te Mediterranean i runga i te waa e 53-ra i tango ai i te kaipuke hou me ona kaiwhanga i te moana Mediterranean. I te wa i hoki mai ai te SS Independence ki New York City, i neke atu i te 13,000 maero tenei tere, a kua tae atu te kaipuke ki nga 22 awa. Mo nga tau e 15 mai i muri mai, ka tae atu te SS Independence ki te Mediterranean i nga wa maha, e mau ana i enei manuhiri rongonui hei Peresideni Harry S. Truman, a Alfred Hitchcock, a Walt Disney. I aroha a Disney i te tipu, a, ko te nuinga o Disney Cruise Line he mema mo nga mema (kaimahi) e whakaaro ana kua aroha ia ki te Raina Rangatira Disney.
I te tau 1974, ka hokona e te American Export Lines te SS Independence ki te Atlantic Far East Line, a ka whakaingoatia ano ia ko te Oceanic Independence. I heke iho te maha o nga hoia ki te 950. Na Amerika Hawaii Cruises i hoko i te kaipuke i te tau 1980, a, kua heke iho te kaute ki te 750. I te tau 1999, kua "roa" te SS SS kia tere ki te 1000 nga haerenga.
Tae noa ki tana pakihi i te mutunga o te tau 2001, ko te American Independent National American Cruises 'classic flag, ko te SS Independence, i rere noa i nga motu o te motu 12 marama o te tau i runga i nga waahanga wiki.
I muri i te paheketanga o te American Cruises, ka rere atu te Independence ki te Papa Air Station Alameda na California. I te Maehe o te 5, 2002, ka pakaru te taone o Carquinez i tana mastua i te wa e wharahia ana e ia e wha taaka. Ko te Independence kei te haere ki Suisan Bay, engari i whakahokia ki San Francisco mo te whakatikatika. I muri mai i te tau 2002 ko te Independence i paahitia ki te Suisun Reserve Reserve i Suisan Bay, California i te taha o te USS Iowa. I te marama o Hui-tanguru 2003, i hokona te Independence mo te $ 4 miriona ki te Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL).
Ko te NCL i whakamahere ki te whakauru atu i te Independence ki tana waka rererangi a Amerika, me te tumanako ki te kawe i te kaipuke i runga i te tau 2004. Heoi, kei te haere tonu te waka ki te whakaheke me te whakaingoa ano ko te Moana Oceanic i te tau 2006, kaore ano he rereke mo NCL. I roto i tana korero mo te wa o te marama o Hune 2007 mo nga kaiwhiwhi, ko Star Cruises Limited (te kamupene matua o NCL) i kii kua hokona e ia te Oceanic, engari kihai i whakaingoatia te kaihoko.
Ko te ahuareka, na te SS Independence i hanga tana haerenga whakamutunga i te moana i te marama o Hui-tanguru 2008 i te wa i peia ai ia ki te moana mai i San Francisco.
I te tau 2009, i pakaruhia te SS Independence i te pareparenga kaipuke o Alang, India.
Ko te SS Independence he kaipuke tuahine, ko te SS Constitution, i hangaia i te tau 1951. He mea whakamiharo hoki te SS Constitution, tae atu ki nga mahi whakaari i roto i te raupapa pouaka whakaata I Love Lucy , i roto i te kiriata roimata-jerker, An Affair to Remember . I haere a Grace Kelly i te kaupapa SS i te Atlantic Atlanta i te tau 1956. Ka mutu tana mahinga i tenei waahana i te tau 1995, ka heke atu ia i raro i te waahi ka werohia.
