The United States Navy collier USS Jason (AC-12) was laid down 26 March 1912, launched 16 November 1912 by Maryland Steel Company, Sparrows Point, Maryland (USA), and commissioned on 26 June 1913. Jason was sent to the Far East in 1925 with a new role, acting as tender to the Asiatic Fleet's aircraft. After nearly a half decade in this job, she was redesignated AV-2 in January 1930. USS Jason returned to the U.S. in May 1932. Decommissioned at the Puget Sound Navy Yard a month later, she was kept in reserve there until May 1936, when she was stricken from the U.S. Navy list. Sold in late July 1936, and subsequently employed as the commercial bulk freighter Jason, she was scrapped in 1948.
