COMMAND HISTORY USS CHARLESTON (LKA 113) is the first ship in the Navy to be designed and construct- ed as an Amphibious Cargo Ship. CHARLESTON was commissioned on 14 December 1968 at the Norfolk Naval Shipyard, Portsmouth, Virginia. She is capable of cruis- ing at speeds in excess of 20 knots and car- ries the latest advances in habitability and crew comfort. CHARLESTON ' S pride is her main battery of LCM-8 and LCM-6 Landing Craft as well as (8) 15 ton booms, (2) 40 ton and (2) 70 ton booms and she can handle heavy equipment and supplies with greater speed and flexibility than any other ship in the Atlantic Fleet. Since her commissioning, CHARLESTON has seen service in a host of exercises in the Mediterranean, Pacific and Indianii Oceans as well as the Caribbean, North Atlantic and off our East Coast. In the spring of 1971, in company with units of thei; SEVENTH Fleet , CHARLESTON completed an around the world cruise during which she carried building materials and sup- , plies for establishment of Naval Communications Facility at Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean. When assigned to the Fleet ' s Atlantic Amphibious Ready Group (LARG), CHARLESTON has landed Marines and equipment on Caribbean beaches and has conducted training for foreign Marine and Naval Forces. This ship ' s great flexibility has been demonstrated through a wide variety of surface and helo assault operations. CHARLESTON also participated in the first evacuation of civilians fromi Lebanon in June of 1976. In February 1979 CHARLESTON completed an extensive overhaul in the shipyard and began her second decade of service in the U.S. Navy.
