George,
Eric is right, in all respects.
Additionally, to my knowledge it has never been the case that you could use a marine SSB set in U.S. or international waters without a station license.
I think you're confusing SSB (i.e., HF on the marine bands) with VHF. It is true that a few years ago the FCC changed the rules for VHF sets, i.e., you don't need a license for them if you only use them in U.S. waters.
