USS Hecuba (AKS-12) was an Acubens-class general stores issue ship commissioned by the U.S. Navy for service in World War II.
Following her conversion to a stores ship and shakedown training, Hecuba departed New Orleans, Louisiana, 31 May 1945 for duty in the Pacific Ocean, arriving Pearl Harbor 22 June.
Hecuba arrived back in Pearl Harbor 18 August to reload general supplies for ships of the fleet.
She sailed to Ulithi, arriving 10 September, and continued issuing the vital stores at that atoll as well as at Leyte and Okinawa until 28 November 1945.
She decommissioned at Pearl Harbor 26 March 1946 and was intended for use in the Pacific atomic tests of that summer, only to be towed to San Francisco, California, in 1947 and placed in the National Defense Reserve Fleet, Suisun Bay, California, where she remained until sold for scrapping to Schintzer Steel Products Co., Portland, Oregon, 19 October 1964.
