Media (AK-83)[Note 1] was a World War II US navy ship that was never commissioned and thus never bore the USS designation.

That same day Media was delivered to the U.S. Army and struck from the Navy list on 24 November 1943.

The ship was renamed Glenn Gerald Griswold after an engineering officer killed while fighting a dump fire in Naples, Italy.

[2] The Glenn Gerald Griswold was converted into a port repair ship by the Bethlehem Fairfield Shipyard, Baltimore, Maryland, on 5 June 1944[3] and sailed for Europe by summer's end.
