USNS Trenton (JHSV-5/T-EPF-5), (ex-Resolute) is the fifth Spearhead-class expeditionary fast transport, operated by the United States Navy's Military Sealift Command.

[6][7] Trenton completed acceptance trials on 13 March 2015[8] and was delivered to the United States Navy on 13 April 2015.

[9] When Trenton, along with non-governmental organization (NGO) search and rescue (SAR) ships, sought a debarkation port, Trenton was initially unable to find a port willing to accept the migrants because Italy and Malta were engaged in a dispute about the acceptance of migrants.

The private NGO ship Sea Watch III denied Trenton's request to transfer the migrants, fearing to share the fate of the NGO ship Aquarius, which had been turned away by Italy and Malta two days earlier on 10 June and had to travel to Spain instead.

[10][11] The 41 individuals were finally accepted by Italy and were handed over to the Italian Coast Guard vessel Diciotti on 17 June at Lampedusa.
