UNITED STATES SHIP INCHCN CLP!-I-125 USS lnchon QLPH-127 was commissioned on June 20, 1970 at the U.S. Naval shipyard in Portsmouth, VA. The seventh and last of the lwo Jima class of amphibious assault ships, she is designed to deploy with United States Marines wherever their presence may be required. In addition to ship's company, lnchon can carry nearly two thousand Marines, including a reinforced Marine helicopter squadron used to transport ground troops to landing zones. She can also provide medical relief in the event of a natural disaster and evacuation of United States citizens from troubled areas should the need arise. Her motto and insignia NEVER MORE BRlGHTLY are derived from the congratulatory message General Douglas MacArthur sent to the Fleet following the successful lnchon, Korea landing on September 15, 1950. The Navy and Marines have never shone more brightly than this morning. ln her 22 year career, lnchon has achieved several milestones. She was the first LPH to complete a world cruise and the last Atlantic Fleet ship to return from the Vietnam conflict. lnchon has also participated in minesweeping operations in the Suez Canal and Haiphong Harbor, crossed the Arctic Circle and the Equator, and participated in Operation Sharp Edge.
