US Navy Ship Seay (T-AKR-302) is a Bob Hope-class roll on roll off vehicle cargo ship of the US Navy. She was built by Northrop Grumman Ship Systems, New Orleans and delivered to the Navy on 28 March 2000. She was assigned to the US Department of Defense's Military Sealift command. The Seay is named in honor of Army Sergeant William W. Seay, a US Medal of Honor recipient.

The Seay's crew consists of 30 civilian merchant mariners, all employees of Patriot Contract Services, of Walnut Creek, California, which has a contract to operate six cargo ships in the Ready Reserve Fleet of the US Navy.
