HISTORY USS PORTLAND QLSD 373 is the second of five dock landing ships in the Anchorage class, built by the Quincy Division of General Dynamics. PORTLANDS ballast tanks give her the capability of changing her depth in the water, thus flooding the Well deck and allowing assault craft to embark and disembark. PORTLAND also has a flight deck which enables her to land and launch any helicopter presently used in amphibious operations. The primary mission of PORTLAND is to launch amphibious forces onto an opposed enemy shore, subsequently providing logistical and combat support to forces ashore during amphibious assault. This is accomplished by launching pre-loaded amphibious craft and vehicles with their crews, embarked troops, and equipment. Combat and logistical support can be supplemented from helicopters launched from the flight deck. These helicopters are capable of evacuating casualties, resupplying troops, and landing combat troops behind enemy defensive perimeters. PORTLAND is an extremely versatile platform and can accomplish a variety of tasking outside of her main mission of amphibi- ous warfare. Examples include providing mothership services to minesweepers and patrol craft, providing repair and dry-docking facilities for small boats, and a diverse variety of humanitarian tasks, such as noncombatant evacuation operations and disaster relief. Construction of USS PORTLAND QLSD 377 commenced with the laying of her keel on September 27, 1967, at the Quincy Division of General Dynamic. She was christened by Mrs. Emily Walton Ford Chapman on December 20, 1969 and commissioned October 3, 1970 at the Boston Naval Shipyard. Since being commissioned, PORTLAND has proudly served her country by completing 26 major deployments to the Caribbean, Mediterranean Sea, Persian Gulf, Indian Ocean, and North Atlantic. While on these deployments, PORTLAND has been instrumen- tal in protecting U.S. Assets and providing immediate humanitarian relief services. As part of the ships service in the Mediterranean, PORTLAND participated in the evacuation of over 300 U.S. Citizens and foreign nationals from civil war-torn Beirut, Lebanon in 1976. As part of a Multinational Peacekeeping Force in Beirut, PORTLAND deployed in May 1983 to help provide political stability in the region. Later that same year, after the terrorist bombing of the Marine Barracks on October 23, PORTLAND immediately responded by sending a rescue team of personnel ashore to provide emergency assistance. In 1989, the ship was quick to respond to the needs of flood-ravaged Tunisia by providing rapid and vital disaster relief. As a result of the Iran-Iraq War, PORTLAND deployed for the first time to the Persian Gulf as Middle East Force Minesweeper Mother ship. PORTLAND again deployed to the deployed Persian Gulf in 1990 as part of an Amphibious Task Force QATFJ immediately following the invasion of Kuwait by Iraqi forces. While in the Kuwait Theater of Operations, PORTLAND was involved in a critical deception, designed to support advancing Coalition forces during the ground war phase of Operation DESERT STORM. PORTLAND was awarded a Navy Unit Commendation along with other units of the ATF for her service during DESERT STORM! DESERT SHIELD. In 1994, PORTLAND deployed to the Caribbean on short notice to provide support of Operation SUPPORT DEMOCRACY in Haiti. She returned to the Mediterranean in February 1996 in support of Operation IOINT ENDEAVOR off Bosnia and later served in Operation ASSURED RESPONSE in Liberia, for which she was awarded the joint Meritorious Unit Commendation. In addition to these deployments, PORTLAND has proven to be an extremely versatile and reliable platform, undertaking a variety of unique missions. She transported TEKTITE II, an experimental underwater research habitat for the Department of the Interior, was awarded the Meritorious Unit Commendation in August 1970 for Navy patrol gunboat support of USS DEFIANCE QPG 951 and USS SURPRISE QPG 973, and carried the Navys Deep Submergence Rescue Submarine NR-1 for bottom survey and data collection in the vicinity of Puerto Rico.
