USS Glacier (AF-4)
USS Glacier (AF-4) was a ''Glacier''-class stores ship acquired by the U.S. Navy for use in the Spanish-American War. She served again during World War I in the dangerous North Atlantic Ocean, delivering general goods and ammunition to American Expeditionary Force troops in Europe.
== Acquisition for Spanish-American War service ==
The first Navy ship to be named ''Glacier'' was built as the merchant ship, SS ''Port Chalmers'' in 1891 by J.L. Thompson & Son, Sunderland, England; purchased from the Federal Line, London, July 1898; commissioned at New York 5 July 1898, Comdr. J. P. Merrill, USN, commanding; had her name changed to USS ''Delmonico'' 6 July 1898, and to USS ''Glacier'' 6 days later.
''Glacier'' departed Hampton Roads 15 August, and for the following 5 months she supplied ice, meat, and stores to ships of the North Atlantic Fleet operating in the West Indies during the Spanish-American War. Sailing from San Juan, Puerto Rico, 3 January 1899, she arrived at New York 1 week later, and decommissioned there 6 March.
