The USS Pyro (AE-2) was a munitions ship of the United States Navy, launched on 24 March 1944. It was designed to transport and supply ammunition and explosives to naval forces during World War II. The ship played a crucial role in supporting military operations by ensuring that ships had the necessary munitions for combat. After serving in the Pacific Theater, the USS Pyro was decommissioned in 1946. It was later transferred to the Maritime Administration and eventually scrapped in 1971. The ship's contributions were significant in maintaining the operational readiness of the U.S. Navy during a critical period in history.
