SS United States is a retired American ocean liner that was built during 1950 and 1951 for United States Lines. She is the largest ocean liner to be entirely constructed in the United States and the fastest ocean liner to cross the Atlantic Ocean in either direction, earning the Blue Riband for the highest average speed since her maiden voyage in 1952, a title that remains uncontested.

What the record says

The numbers: Launched - 1950; Length - 301.9 m. 2 of the 7 columns are blank in the source (Tonnage and Status), so nobody could score them either way.
