USS Maury (AGS-16) - USS Renate (AKA-36) was an Artemis-class attack cargo ship named after the minor planet 575 Renate. The meaning of the name is unknown. The ship was later converted for hydrographic missions and renamed USS Maury (AGS-16) after the famous astronomer and hydrographer Matthew Fontaine Maury. The U.S. Navy originally deployed these survey ships to gather what it called "environmental intelligence" and which the U.S. Navy early realized could be to enormous advantage in naval combat operations.
