USS Sylvania (AFS-2)

USS Sylvania (AFS-2) was a Mars-class combat stores ship commissioned by the United States Navy in 1964. Designed to deliver food, ammunition, and other supplies to ships at sea, Sylvania played a crucial logistical role in multiple operations, including support during the Vietnam War and later in the Mediterranean with the U.S. Sixth Fleet. Throughout her service, the ship participated in numerous replenishment missions, enabling sustained naval operations far from home ports. After nearly three decades of service, USS Sylvania was decommissioned in 1994 and later struck from the Naval Vessel Register.
