USS Vent (ARS-29) was a Diver-class rescue and salvage ship commissioned by the U.S. Navy during World War II.

She participated in salvage operations on five LST's which had been set afire by an accidental explosion and had sunk in West Loch, Pearl Harbor on 21 May.

The destructive typhoon which swirled into the fleet anchorage at Buckner Bay, Okinawa, in October 1945, swept many small craft ashore.

Subsequently decommissioned on 30 August 1946, Vent was struck from the Navy List on 12 March 1948 and sold to Henry J. Barbey on 30 June 1948.
