Suribachi class ammunition ship

The "Suribachi" class ammunition ships are a class of two auxiliary vessels of the United States Navy. They were among the first specialised underway replenishment ships built after the Second World War. The "Nitro" class ammunition ships are sometimes considered part of this class.

Both vessels are currently in reserve as of 2005.
