They were designated "ORV" for Ocean Range Vessel. They used the <a href="/wiki/Ship_prefix" title="Ship prefix">ship name prefix</a> "USAF" (<i>e.g.</i>: USAF <i>Coastal Crusader</i> (ORV-16)). Other ships would use the prefix "USAFS", for "United States Air Force Ship". </p><p>The initial twelve <a href="/wiki/Eastern_Test_Range" class="mw-redirect" title="Eastern Test Range">Atlantic Missile Range</a> ships were modified <a href="/wiki/World_War_II" title="World War II">World War II</a> <a href="/wiki/Cargo_ship" title="Cargo ship">cargo vessels</a>.

(In 1970, the MSTS changed its name to <a href="/wiki/Military_Sealift_Command" title="Military Sealift Command">Military Sealift Command</a> (MSC).) The ships were redesignated from USAFS to <a href="/wiki/United_States_Naval_Ship" title="United States Naval Ship">USNS</a>, along with the <a href="/wiki/Hull_code" class="mw-redirect" title="Hull code">hull code</a> "AGM", eg: USAFS <i>Sword Knot</i> (E-45-1852) became USNS <i>Rose Knot</i> (T-AGM-14).
