The main difference between the two designators is that one is manned mainly by civilian personnel and the other is manned by naval personnel, meaning US navy sailors. Both types are owned and operated by the United States Navy. Usually USNS ships are manned by civillian personnel from the Military Sealift Command. A command primarily tasked with restocking and resupplying US Naval Ships.
