SSGreen Harbour was a Type C9-class ship built in 1974, operated by the Military Sealift Command during Gulf War.^[1][2]

Green Harbour was laid down and launched in 1974 at Avondale Shipyard, New Orleans, Louisiana. Put into service later that same year by the Maritime Administration for operation by Central Gulf Lines.^[3]

In 1991, the ship was chartered by the Military Sealift Command (MSC) and commissioned into the Maritime Prepositioning Ship Squadron 2, Diego Garcia, as Green Harbour (T-AK-2064).^[4] She took part in the Operation Desert Shield.^[5]

She was returned to the Central Gulf Lines after the contact with MSC was finished in 2001. The ship was sold for scrap in 2002.
