USS Oceanus (ARB-2) was one of twelve Aristaeus-class battle damage repair ships built for the United States Navy during World War II. Named for Oceanus (believed to be the world-ocean in classical antiquity), she was the only U.S. Naval vessel to bear the name. The ship was originally laid down as LST–328 on 12 November 1942 at the Philadelphia Navy Yard; redesignated USS Oceanus (ARB-2) on 25 January 1943, she was then launched on 11 February 1943 and commissioned on 22 May 1943 with Lieutenant Commander W. B. Studley in command.
