USS San Jose (AFS-7)

USS San Jose (AFS-7) was a Mars-class combat stores ship commissioned by the United States Navy in 1970. Designed to provide underway replenishment of food, spare parts, and other supplies to naval vessels at sea, she played a vital logistical role during the Vietnam War and throughout the Cold War era. San Jose participated in numerous operations, including support for the U.S. Pacific Fleet and deployments to the Western Pacific and Indian Ocean. She was decommissioned in 1993 and later transferred to the Military Sealift Command as USNS San Jose (T-AFS-7), continuing her service until her final deactivation in 2010.
