United States Ship COMSTOCK (LSD 45) is the fifth ship of the LSD 41 (WHIDBEY ISLAND) class and the third ship of which to serve in the Pacific Fleet. COMSTOCK ' s mission is to transport United States Marines with their combat equipment to designated areas around the world, and then to launch and support assault landing craft and helicopters during amphibious operations against hostile shores. COMSTOCK carries the new Landing Craft Air Cushion ( LCAC ) . The LCAC is an assault hovercraft with the ability to exceed 40 knots while carrying a 60 ton payload. Using this new craft, COMSTOCK forces will be able to carry out an amphibious assault against a wider range of beaches. COMSTOCK accomplishes her mission through the use of a well deck which is flooded to embark and launch assault craft. After leaving the ship, the assault craft are directed towards the shore by the ship ' s Combat Information Center. To provide continuing support to the assault force, COMSTOCK is equipped with the Navy ' s latest advanced technology including updated communication and combat systems, 20 ton and 50 ton cranes, expanded repair facilities, two helicopter landing areas, complete medical and dental facilities, and an automated computer based supply system.
