USS Volans (AKS-9)
USS ''Volans'' (AKS-9) was an ''Acubens''-class general stores issue ship commissioned by the U.S. Navy for service in World War II. She was responsible for delivering and disbursing goods and equipment to locations in the war zone.
SS ''Edward Preble'' was laid down under a Maritime Commission contract (MCE hull 772) on 19 October 1942 at South Portland, Maine, by the New England Shipbuilding Corporation; launched on 2 February 1943; sponsored by Miss Beverly Brown; renamed ''Volans'' and designated AKS-9 on 13 November 1943; and acquired by the Navy on 2 December 1943. Taken to the Tampa Bay Shipbuilding Co., Inc., ''Volans'' was converted for naval service at that yard, the work lasting into the following year. On 31 March 1944, ''Volans'' (AKS-9) was commissioned at Tampa, Florida, Comdr. Sherman R. Perie, USNR, in command.

Following her shakedown training in Chesapeake Bay and post-shakedown availability at the Norfolk Navy Yard, ''Volans'' loaded her initial cargo and got underway for the Panama Canal Zone on 11 May 1944. After transiting the Panama Canal, the stores issue ship experienced a two-day layover at Balboa, on the Pacific Ocean side of the isthmian waterway, before she sailed on 28 May for the New Hebrides Islands.
