Non-commissioned naval ships in wartime are often referred to as "auxiliary vessels" or "merchant navy ships." These vessels are typically civilian ships that are requisitioned by the navy for military use, such as transporting troops, supplies, or serving as support ships. They do not have the same level of combat capabilities as commissioned warships.
In rare and extreme situations, people in the navy can be killed during combat, accidents, or other dangerous scenarios. The navy provides extensive training and safety protocols to minimize risks and protect its personnel, but tragically, fatalities can still occur in the line of duty.
"USNS" is an acronym for "United States Naval Ship". It typically refers to non-combat or support Navy vessels, such as hospital ships, freighters, etc.
