The USS Mount Hood (AE-1) was a United States Navy ammunition ship that served from 1944 until its decommissioning in 1970. It played a vital role in supporting naval operations by transporting and supplying munitions to fleet units. The ship was named after the iconic Mount Hood in Oregon. Decommissioning of the USS Mount Hood took place on 30 June 1970, marking the end of its active service. After decommissioning, the ship was struck from the Naval Vessel Register and eventually sold for scrap. Its service history remains a part of the legacy of the U.S. Navy's logistical support capabilities.
