USS CLEVELAND LPD-7 Steamin ' CLEV LENGTH: 570 FEET BEAM: 105 FEET DRAFT: 21 1 2 FEET SPEED: 21 KNOTS CREW: 430 NAVY PROPULSION: STEAM TURBINE 24,000 HP DISPLACEMENT: 16,500 TONS DATE LAUNCHED: MAY 7, 1966 COMMISSIONED: APRIL 21, 1967 HOMEPORT: SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA The USS CLEVELAND is the third ship to be named after the city of Cleveland, Ohio. The first was a protected cruiser (C-19) 1903-29, and the second was a light cruiser (CL-55) 1942-47. The present CLEVELAND, an Amphibious Transport Dock, was designed to add new dimensions to the Navy ' s troop and vehicle transport capability. CLEVELAND ' S distinguishing feature is a large well deck covered by a full helicopter flight deck. This combination permits CLEVELAND to operate as- sault craft at the same time she is landing and launch- ing helicopters. She also combines the capabilities of attack transports and attack cargo ships by carrying both troops and heavy equipment to the assault area. With helicopters and landing craft, CLEVELAND can project more than 800 combat troops with their equipment against enemy beaches. CLEVELAND was also the first LPD built to provide command con- trol spaces for an Amphibious Task Force Command- er and a Landing Force Commander and their respec- tive staffs. After her commissioning in April 1967 at Norfolk, Virginia, CLEVELAND sailed to the West Coast and assumed her duties as a unit of the Amphibious Force of the United States Pacific Fleet. Since then, she has divided her time between local operations around her homeport and extended deployments to the Western Pacific. During deployments CLEVELAND serves as the flagship for the Commander Amphibious Force, U.S. Seventh Fleet.
