The names of commissioned ships of the U.S. Navy start with "USS", designating 'United States Ship'. Non-commissioned, civilian-manned vessels of the U.S. Navy have names that begin with "USNS", standing for 'United States Naval Ship'. Additionally, each ship is given a letter-based hull classification symbol (for example CVN and DDG) to indicate the vessel's type and a hull number. The names of ships are officially selected by the Secretary of the Navy and are usually those of U.S. states, cities, towns, important people, famous battles, fish, or ideals. All ships in the U.S. Navy inventory are placed in the Naval Vessel Register, which tracks data such as the current status of a ship, the date of its commissioning, and the date of its decommissioning. Vessels that are removed from the register prior to disposal are said to be stricken from the register.

Underway Saturday and Sunday.
Ask any sailor stationed on a seagoing command, they'll tell you the same. What exactly it means depends on the attitude of the sailor -- either "our weekends are always ruined by putting out to sea" (basic whining) or "saturdays, sundays, and holidays don't matter -- if the ship is at sea, it is a full work day"
;) seriously, it is United States Ship.
