The S.S. Sapona (originally named the Old North State) was one of four ships manufactured for use in WWI by the United States. Their names were Sapona, Cape Fear, Faith and The Americas.

Longer Days on Planet Earth by M.P. Pellicer

 In the last 1.4 billion years the moon has moved further from the earth, increasing the length of a day by six hours, thus days are 30% longer.

The moon has been drifting slowly away from Earth at a rate of 1.5 inches per year, and the effect is longer days. The weakening pull of the planet's only natural satellite has resulted in a slower spin, and thus it takes longer for a complete 360° rotation to take place.
