USNS Triumph (T-AGOS-4) was a Stalwart-class ocean surveillance ship of the United States Navy. She was struck from the Naval Vessel Register in 1995. Triumph is currently awaiting disposal.[1]
Stalwart class ships were originally designed to collect underwater acoustical data in support of Cold war anti-submarine warfare operations in the 1980s.
US Congress as per Section 201(f) authorizes the sale to the Philippines of the Ocean Surveillance Ship TRIUMPH (T-AGOS 4). This 12 year-old vessel has over half of its service life remaining (16 years) and originally cost the United States $25,493,000. The Government of the Philippines is expected to pay $11,370,000 for the vessel. However, the transfer of the vessel will be completed without a towed sonar array.
