USNS Silas Bent (AGS-26), was the first of a new class of oceanographic survey ships specifically designed for oceanographic and hydrographic work. She was built by the American Ship Building Co. at Lorain, Ohio, and launched on 16 May 1964. She is named for a 19th-century US naval officer who worked on oceanographic and hydrographic matters during his 25-year career. Sponsored by Miss Nancy M. McKinley and Mrs Jeffrey R. Grandy, the Bent was delivered to the Military Sea Transportation Service (now the Military Sealift Command) in July 1965.
