The IX (unclassified–miscellaneous) hull classification symbol is used for ships of the United States Navy that do not fit into one of the standard categories.[1][2] Similar lists of 'miscellaneous' ships can found at
and
- List of yard and district craft of the United States Navy § District auxiliary, miscellaneous (YAG).
Ship status is indicated as either currently active [A] (including ready reserve), inactive [I], or precommissioning [P]. Ships in the inactive category include only ships in the inactive reserve, ships which have been disposed from US service have no listed status. Ships in the precommissioning category include ships under construction or on order; IX ships are generally not ordered as such, but are rather converted from other roles.
Historical overview
[edit]These vessels usually fall into these categories:
- Armed decoys (Q-ships)
- Experimental vessels
- Former yachts
- Mobile base vessels used by service squadrons (command ships, barracks ships, bulk storage ships, unnamed barges, and floating shipyard equipment)
- Retired warships
- Training equipment and simulators (including two Great Lakes-based paddlewheel aircraft carriers)
- War prizes
Currently only one ship, USS Prevail (IX-537), actively carries an IX hull symbol.

During the naval build-up for World War II over 25 vessels of Maritime Commission (MarCom, later MarAd) standard designs were converted to US Navy unclassified miscellaneous vessels (several after suffering heavy damage in commercial service):
- 12 Type EC2 Liberty ships (3 later classed as auxiliaries)
- 20 Type Z-ET1 Liberty ships (2 later classed as auxiliaries)
