I J he hL USS CABILDO is named after a historical landmark in the city of New Orleans. The first New Orleans City Hall was called ' The Cabildo , a Spanish term for ' Town Meeting Place. ' The Cabildo was the scene of the final negotiations for the Louisiana Purchase by the United States from France in 1803. This historical building now provides a considerable attraction for visitors to New Orleans and also contains a Naval Museum. The primary mission of the LSD is to transport, land and support small landing craft and amphibious vehicles with troops, supplies and equipment in amphibious assault over enemy beaches. While anchored off the assault beaches, the large well-deck is flooded to permit combat-loaded smaller craft to move out under their own power ready to hit the beach. The flight deck is used for helicopter operations or can be used to transport large trucks and other vehicles and heavy construction equipment. USS CABILDO was built by Newport News Shipbuilding Company (Virginia) and was commissioned on 15 March 1945. Although CABILDO joined the Nav ' s Amphibious Force too late in World War II to see extensive action, she did parti- cipate in the occupation of Japan. Decommissioned on 15 January 1947, CABILDO was recommissioned on 7 October 1950 for the Korean War. In April 1952, while loading mine sweeping boats in Wonsan, Korea, the ship suffered a direct hit amidships but was able to carry out her mission after local repairs. Since re- commissioning in 1950, CABILDO has made ten cruises to the Western Pacific, in addition to operating along the Western coast of the United States. She has also operated in Canada, Alaska and Hawaii and in 1962 cruised through the Panama Canal to participate in the blockade of Cuba. CABILDO has earned the following medals: Purple Heart American Campaign Asiatic-Pacific World War II Victory Navy Occupation Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal W Star China Service National Defense Korean Defense-2 stars United Nations Korean Presidential Unit Citation i Mil
