Motto:
USNS Mary Sears (T-AGS 65) is a Pathfinder class oceanographic survey ship. It is the sixth and final ship of its class. Mary Sears is named after Commander Mary Sears of the USNR, who was instrumental in the development of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and is regarded as one of the initial oceanographers in the Navy.
   The ship has sonar, underwater metal detection and satellite imagery capabilities.

Notable deployments

In mid January 2007, the Mary Sears deployed to Sulawesi, Indonesia to aid in the search for the missing Adam Air Flight 574 on the same frequency as those of the lost aircraft's cockpit voice recorder, located in the area where the aircraft is believed to have gone down. Additionally, the Mary Sears had also detected "heavy debris scattered over a wide area".
