'''USS ''Cyclops''''' was one of four [[USS Proteus (AC-9)|''Proteus''-class]] [[collier]]s built for the [[United States Navy]] prior to [[World War I]]. Named for the cyclops, a primordial race of [[giants]] from [[Greek mythology]], she was the second U.S. Naval vessel to bear the name. The loss of the ship and 306 crew and passengers without a trace sometime after March 4, 1918 remains the single largest loss of life in the history of the Navy not directly involving combat.
