USS Niagara Falls (AFS-3) was a Mars-class combat stores ship commissioned by the United States Navy in 1967. Designed to provide underway replenishment of food, ammunition, and general stores, she played a vital logistical role during the Vietnam War, supporting fleet operations in the Western Pacific.
