The Ships USS Mars (AC-6) SS MARS (AFS 1) is the second ship to bear the name MARS. The possibility that she might be the third MARS is no small point of debate among naval scholars. Some records indicate a Revolutionary War galley was named MARS. This one gun boar, with a length of 52 feet and a crew of 28, was built in Charleston, South Carolina in 1798. Only five such ships were built in Charleston, and Congress mandated that one was to bear the name of that city. The weight of evidence strongly supports the view that MARS and CHARLESTON were the same ship during construction. It is a near certainty that CHARLESTON is the only name under which the vessel ever sailed. The first MARS was built in 1908 and designated AC-6. This MARS conducted transfers of coal and scrap iron on the East coast. In 1914 she participated in the occupation of Vera Cruz, Mexico, when local strongman Victoria Huerta shot his way to the top of the Mexican government. Shortly thereafter, a Gernnan steamer arrived off the coast of Vera Cruz carrying a large shipment of arms for Huerta. MARS served as a component of the Naval blockade that deprived arms to the revolutionary government. Later, the cool-carrying MARS became a troop carrier in World War I. In addition to her normal cargo, MARS served as a transport for American Forces bound for Europe. She made three such trips to the European Theater between 1917 and 1918. USS MARS (AR-16) is the MARS that never was. In 1945 her keel was laid but, due to the end of World War II, her contract was canceled. Therefore the present MARS is the second, might be the third, and could have been the fourth ship named MARS.
