The ''Cyclops'' was the sister ship of USS Jupiter (AC-3), USS Proteus (AC-9), and USS Nereus (AC-10).  ''Proteus'' and ''Nereus'' served in the Navy until decommissioned in 1924, remaining in mothballs until sold to Canadian firms in 1940.  Both were lost at sea from unknown causes in 1941.  ''Jupiter'' was stripped of her coaling booms in 1920 to make room for a wooden flight deck and becoming the Navy's first aircraft carrier, USS ''Langley''.
