USS

amphibious transport dock, was the third ship of the United States Navy to be
named for the city in Ohio. Her keel was laid down at Ingalls Shipbuilding of
Pascagoula, Mississippi. She was launched on 7 May 1966, and was commissioned
on 21 April 1967 at Norfolk, Virginia. At the time of decommissioning, she
was the third-oldest commissioned ship in the US Navy, behind USS
Constitution ("Old Ironsides") and USS Enterprise (CVN-65). source: wikipedia (July 2012) |
