The NDRF was established in 1946 to serve as a reserve of ships for national defense and national emergencies. NDRF vessels are now located at the James River, Beaumont and Suisun Bay anchorages and at designated port facility berths. The program primarily consists of dry cargo ships with some tankers and military auxiliaries. As of April 1, 2009, there were 180 vessels in the NDRF.

Just recently, there were 7 ships slated for scrapping. They will be removed from the fleet in the very near future.
