USNS Triumph (T-AGOS-4) is a Stalwart-class ocean surveillance ship formerly of the United States Navy. She was struck from the Naval Vessel Register in 1995. On 1 October 2012 the ship was disposed of by Navy title transfer to the Maritime Administration.[1] As of May 2015, Triumph was held as a reserve asset for spare parts for sister ships General Rudder and State of Michigan.[2][3]
Stalwart class ships were originally designed to collect underwater acoustical data in support of Cold War anti-submarine warfare operations in the 1980s.
In 1998, the US Congress authorized the sale of Triumph,[4] without the towed sonar array, to the Philippines for $11,370,000.[5] However, the sale was not completed.
