| - Arctic was built by National Steel and Shipbuilding Company in San Diego, California. Since 14 June 2002, Arctic has been operated by the Military Sealift Command, homeported in Earle, New Jersey. As a U.S. Naval Ship, Arctic no longer carries the weapons systems she previously (as USS Arctic) was equipped with. One of these systems was the Phalanx CIWS. Arctic has the speed to keep up with the carrier strike groups. She rapidly replenishes Navy task forces and can carry more than of oil; 2,150 tons of ammunition; 500 tons of dry stores; and 250 tons of refrigerated stores. She receives petroleum products, ammunition, and stores from shuttle ships and redistributes these items simultaneously to carrier strike group ships. This reduces the vulnerability of serviced ships by reducing alongside time. Like other fast combat support ships, she is part of MSC's Naval Fleet Auxiliary Force. USNS Arctic's cargo capacities:
* Diesel Fuel Marine (DFM):
* JP-5 fuel:
* Bottled gas: 800 bottles
* Ordnance stowage: 1,800 tons
* Chill and freeze stowage: 400 tons
* Water: USNS Arctic's refueling rigs can pump fuel at a rate of per minute.
