=== Honored by the U.S. Navy === {{unreferenced section|date=July 2022}} Two U.S. Navy ships were named USS ''Manayunk''. The first was the [[Monitor (warship)|monitor]] [[USS Manayunk (1864)|USS ''Manayunk'' (1864)]] which was constructed in [[Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania]], for use in the [[American Civil War]], but was commissioned too late to serve in that action. She was later pulled out of reserve and renamed [[USS Ajax (1864)|USS ''Ajax'' (1864)]] by the prominent Philadelphian [[United States Secretary of the Navy|Secretary of the Navy]] [[Adolph E. Borie]] and saw action in the [[Spanish–American War]]. The second ship to be named Manayunk was the [[World War II]] [[net laying ship]] [[USS Manayunk (AN-81)|USS ''Manayunk'' (AN-81)]], built in [[Portland, Oregon]], which, like the first USS ''Manayunk'', was built late in the war, but did operate in the [[Pacific Ocean]] in the [[Mariana Islands]], primarily in the [[Saipan]]-[[Tinian]] area, laying and maintaining nets and moorings until the spring of 1946.
