USNS PFC James Anderson, Jr. (T-AK-3002), 1985-____

USNS PFC James Anderson, Jr., a 49,453-ton Cpl. Louis J. Hague, Jr. class maritime prepositioning ship, was built in 1979 in Denmark as the merchant ship Emma Maersk. Acquired by the Navy under a long-term charter in 1983, she was placed in service under the direction of the Military Sealift Command. PFC James Anderson, Jr. has subsequently been based at Diego Garcia, Indian Ocean. She carries equipment to support a U.S. Marine Corps expeditionary brigade.

PFC James Anderson, Jr. was named in honor of Private First Class James Anderson, Jr., USMC (1947-1967), who was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for heroism during the Vietnam War.
