USS Mount Hood (AE-29)

USS Mount Hood (AE-29) was a Kilauea-class ammunition ship commissioned by the United States Navy on May 1, 1971. Named after the volcanic peak in Oregon, she served primarily in the Pacific Fleet, providing underway replenishment of ordnance to naval vessels at sea. Throughout her service, Mount Hood supported operations during the Vietnam War and later participated in numerous fleet exercises and deployments, including operations in the Indian Ocean and the Western Pacific. After over two decades of service, she was decommissioned on August 10, 1999, and subsequently struck from the Naval Vessel Register.
