USS Major

The USS Major refers to multiple ships of the United States Navy named in honor of individuals holding the rank of Major. Due to the Navy's naming conventions and historical practices, these ships typically held auxiliary roles such as cargo ships, transports, or support vessels rather than being warships like battleships or cruisers. Details on specific ships named USS Major are often limited to their commissioning dates, service periods, and operational history, which can be found in naval archives and historical records. The Dictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships (DANFS) is a valuable resource for information on specific vessels.
