USS Kiska (AE-35) was a Kilauea-class ammunition ship commissioned by the United States Navy on 16 December 1972. Built to provide underway replenishment of munitions to combat ships at sea, Kiska played a vital support role during the latter years of the Cold War. Throughout her service, she operated primarily in the Pacific Fleet, participating in numerous exercises and deployments to ensure fleet readiness. After decades of distinguished service, USS Kiska was decommissioned on 1 August 1996 and later transferred to the Military Sealift Command as USNS Kiska (T-AE-35), continuing her mission with a civilian crew until her final retirement.
