As of December 2022, this vessel is no longer operated by the US Navy's Military Sealift Command, transferred instead to the US Department of Transportation's Maritime Administration (MARAD) as a civilian merchant marine vessel. As a result, any photos taken prior to 1 December 2022 should be titled as "USNS MENDONCA TAKR303." On December 1, she was renamed and given the US Official Number 1329690, and the Navy title and pennant number became irrelevant, so she should simply be referred to as the "LEROY A. MENDONCA" in photos taken since.
