USS Concord (AFS-5)

USS Concord (AFS-5) was a Mars-class combat stores ship commissioned by the United States Navy in 1968. Designed to provide underway replenishment of food, stores, and ammunition to naval combat forces, Concord played a vital logistical role during the Cold War, supporting fleet operations across the Atlantic and Mediterranean. Throughout her service, the ship participated in numerous exercises and deployments, ensuring sustained naval readiness. After over two decades of service, USS Concord was decommissioned in 1992 and later transferred to the Military Sealift Command as USNS Concord (T-AFS-5), continuing her support role until her final inactivation in 2009.
