USS Rehoboth (AVP-50)

USS Rehoboth (AVP-50) was a Barnegat-class small seaplane tender commissioned by the United States Navy in 1944. During World War II, she supported seaplane operations in the Pacific, providing maintenance, supplies, and tender services essential to maritime patrol and reconnaissance missions. After the war, Rehoboth was converted into an oceanographic survey ship (AGS-50), conducting extensive hydrographic and oceanographic surveys in both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. She served in this capacity until her decommissioning in 1970, contributing significantly to naval science and maritime navigation.
