USAS American Mariner was a United States Army research vessel from January 1959 to 30 September 1963. She was originally assigned to the DAMP Project by the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) to attempt to collect radar signature data on incoming intercontinental ballistic missiles in the Caribbean, the South Atlantic Ocean, and the Indian Ocean. Her initial operations involved providing radar track on the Atlas missile, which was under development at the time. Subsequently, she provided track on other types of missiles as they proceeded through their development and operational stages. In September 1963 the original contract was transferred to the USAF until the completion of the testing phase in 1964.

  • USAS American Mariner était un navire océanographique de l' United States Navy de janvier 1959 au 30 septembre 1963. La Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) l'avait affecté au (en) pour tenter de collecter des données de signature radar sur les missiles balistiques intercontinentaux entrants dans les Caraïbes, l’océan Atlantique sud et l’océan Indien. Ses premières opérations consistaient à fournir une piste radar sur le missile Atlas du constructeur américain Convair, en cours de développement. Par la suite, il a fourni des informations sur d’autres types de missiles au cours de leur développement et de leur phase opérationnelle. Fixé en 1941 sous le nom de Liberty SS George Calvert (MC#20), il a d'abord été mis au service de l'United States Coast Guard comme navire-école TS American Mariner jusqu'en 1953, date à laquelle il a été placé en réserve. Après sa carrière dans l’Armée, il a été transféré à l’United States Air Force le 1er octobre 1963 et a été re-désigné USAFS American Mariner. Après son service dans la force aérienne, il a été transféré à l'United States Navy le 7 janvier 1964 et désigné USNS American Mariner (T-AGM-12). Sa mission n’a pas été fondamentalement modifiée à la suite du transfert de la gestion des navires. Le 1er janvier 1966, le navire fut rayé de la liste de la marine et renvoyé pour démolition. Le 1er octobre 1966, le titre de propriété du navire a été transféré à la Marine pour son démantèlement et plus tard dans le mois, il a été sabordé dans des eaux peu profondes dans la baie de Chesapeake à l’île de Smith dans le Maryland, pour être utilisé comme navire cible. Il semble avoir été le seul navire à avoir servi dans les garde-côtes américaines, l'armée américaine, l'US Air Force après avoir été construit pour servir la marine marchande américaine. (fr)

Subsequently, she provided track on other types of missiles as they proceeded through their development and operational stages. In September 1963 the original contract was transferred to the USAF until the completion of the testing phase in 1964. Laid down in 1941 as the Liberty ship SS George Calvert (MC #20), she first saw service as the United States Coast Guard training ship TS American Mariner, as which she served until 1953, when she was placed in reserve. After her Army career, she was transferred to the United States Air Force on 1 October 1963, and was redesignated USAFS American Mariner. After Air Force service, she was transferred to the United States Navy on 7 January 1964 and designated USNS American Mariner (T-AGM-12). The mission was not essentially changed as a result of transfer of vessel management. On 1 January 1966 the vessel was stricken from the Navy list and returned for disposal. On 1 October 1966 title to the vessel was transferred to the Navy for disposal and later in the month she was scuttled in shallow water in the Chesapeake Bay about 5 nautical miles (9.3 km) northwest of Ewell, Smith Island, Maryland, for use for a target ship. She appears to have been the only ship to have served in the U.S. Coast Guard, the U.S. Army, the U.S. Air Force, and the U.S. Navy after being built for service with the United States Merchant Marine.
