"USNS" stands for United States Naval Ship. Unlike USS (United States Ship) which is a designation given to commissioned vessels in the U.S. Navy, USNS refers to Navy supply and transport vessels operated by the Military Sealift Command, but owned by the Navy.
The major difference is that commissioned vessels (warships, support vessels, etc.) are owned, operated, and crewed by the Navy and Naval personnel; USNS ships are owned by the Navy, operated by the MSC, and usually crewed by civilians.
