USNS Adelphi (T-AG-181) was one of 12 ships scheduled to be acquired by the United States Navy in February 1966 and converted into Forward Depot Ships for service with the Military Sea Transport Service. The Adelphi Victory (MCV-760) was chosen for this conversion and assigned the name Adelphi, but the program was cancelled and the ships were not acquired by the Navy.
The ship operated under commercial charter carrying supplies to Vietnam under her original name, Adelphi Victory. As of 1 July 1984, Adelphi Victory was laid up in Suisun Bay, California, as part of the National Defense Reserve Fleet.
