USNS TRIUMPH was the fourth ship in the STALWART - class of Ocean Surveillance Ships and the second ship in the Navy to bear the name. The ships of the STALWART - class were designed to operate SURTASS (Surveillance Towed Array Sensor System) which is used for long-range detection of submarines. SURTASS provides passive detection of quiet nuclear and diesel submarines and real-time reporting of surveillance information to theater commanders.

USNS TRIUMPH was deactivated after only 10 years of service. Laid up at Suisun Bay, the ship was briefly transferred to the US Air Force as a training ship and was later returned to the Navy to be laid up at Suisun Bay again. Presently still laid up there, the TRIUMPH is scheduled to be sunk as a target.
