X + aww APRIL I9-OCTOBER I9, I996 Ship's Mission United States Ship RUSHMORE CLSD-473 is the seventh ship of the LSD-41 Wl-IIDBEY ISLAND class and the fourth ship of that class to serve in the Pacific Fleet. RUSHMORE s mission is to transport Marines with their combat equipment to areas designated throughout the wor ld, Then to launch and support assault landing craft and helicopters during amphibious operations against hostile shores. RUSHMORE carries Air Cushioned Landing Craftlvehicles CLCACD. LCAC s are assault landing craft capable of speeds in excess of 4O knots while carrying a 6O-ton payload.. Using this versatile craft, RUSHMORE is able to carry out an amphibious assault against-a wider range of beaches at distances which before were not operationally feasible. Officially designated a Landing Ship Dock CLSDD, RUSHMORE accomplishes her mission through the use of a well deck which is flooded to recover and launch landing craft. After departing the ship, the assault craft are directed toward the shore by the ship's Combat Information Center CCICJ. D RUSHMORE is superbly designed to carry out her mission. With a 44O foot well deck capable of holding four LCAC's, a flight deck able to launch up to two CH-53E helicopters, the Navy's latest diesel propulsion and engineering technology, advanced repair facilities, complete medical and dental facilities, and troop berthing accommodations for up to 627 embarked Marines, warship RUSHMORE presents an exciting and formidable amphibious assault capability. Ship's History USS RUSHMORE is named after the Mount Rushmore National Monument in the Black Hills of South Dakota. RUSHMORE was built by Avondale Industries in New Orleans, Louisiana. Mrs. Meredith Brokaw, wife of NBC News anchorman, Tom Brokaw, christened the ship RUSHMORE May 6, 1989. Commissioning ceremonies were held June 1, 1991 onthe banks of the Mississippi River at the River Walk, New Orleans. The ship's first assignment was to deliver three Air Cushioned Landing Craft CLCACD to Camp Pendleton, California from Panama City, Florida. Along the way, RUSHMORE conducted a port visit in Jamaica, traversed the Panama Canal, and visited Rodman, Panama. Camp Pendleton was the last stop before arriving at its homeport of San Diego. Since RUSHMORE's maiden voyage, she has been to San Francisco, Portland, Hawaii, and Mazatlan, Mexico. Most notably, during her first six-month deployment, USS RUSHMORE spearheaded the beach landing on Somalia during Operation Restore Hope, the largest military humanitarian operation in history. Operation Restore Hope was designed to provide food and medical relief to the starving people of Somalia. RUSHMORE's 1994 WESTPAC deployment came almost one year ahead of schedule. She deployed with only four weeks notice and participated in Operation Support Hope off the coast of Mombasa, Kenya, the USLO relocation in Somalia and Operation Vigilant Warrior off the coast of Kuwait. Additionally, RUSHMORE conducted amphibious operations with forces of Oman and the United Arab Emirates. The 1994 deployment earned RUSHMORE the Navy Unit Commendation Medal and the Meritorious Unit Commendation Medal. The latest deployment began April 19, 1996. RUSHMORE participated in Operation Cobra Gold an airborne-landing force exercise involving U.S. and Thailand forces off the coast of Thailand , and Exercise Infinite Moonlight in Jordan. Crewmembers also participated in humanitarian efforts in both Malaysia and the Philippines. USS Rushmore CLSD-145 RUSHMORE CLSD-147 was laid down as HMS SWORD on New Year's Eve of 1943 by Newport News Shipbuilding and Drydock Co., Newport News, Virginia. She was launched as RUSHMORE on May 10, 1944. USS RUSHMORE CLSD-145 was commissioned on July 3, 1944. Following shakedown in Chesapeake Bay, Landing Ship Dock RUSHMORE departed Norfolk in August 5, 1994 for the Pacific where she participated in four amphibious landings, Leyte Gulf in October 1944, Palawan in February 1945, Mindinao in March 1945, and Tarakan in May 1945. After the war, RUSHMORE operated in the Far East, participating in occupied Japanese waters. She was decommissioned on August 10, 1946 and was mothballed in Pascagoula, Mississippi. RUSHMORE was recommissioned in Charleston, South Carolina on September 21, 1950 to begin service with the Atlantic Fleet. She was finally decommissioned on September 30, 1970 and was transferred to the Maritime Administration's National Defense Reserve Fleet on the James River, in February 1971. RUSHMORE earned three Battle Stars for World War ll service. CDR FORREST L.

Forlorn and melancholy, their tears fell onto the sands of time as they eagerly longed for the day of their warrior's glorious return to celebrate in their majestic triumph. Propugnator Navigation is Latin for a nautical journey ofthe bold protectors, and was a fitting title for our six-month odyssey to the USPACCOM's and USCENTCOM's regions. 0ur sea-based Marine Air Ground Task Force was among the nation's most forward deployed combatant forces in the Western Pacificflndian Ocean prepared to execute conventional and special operations across a wide spectrum of crisislcontingency situations. Throughout the deployment, we conducted training and maintenance afloat and ashore in numerous exercises in order to maintain and enhance our capability to plan and conduct operations across the full spectrum of conventional and maritime special operationsg as units of BLT 174 ground combat element forthe 13th Marine Expeditionary Unit iSpecial Operations Capablel, COMPHIBRON 3 Amphibious Readiness Group. During our time in the fonfvard deployed arena , the Battalion Landing Team showecased our nation's policies by participating in three bilateral, two unilateral and one joint exercise, two reinforcement missions, one trap and two joint contingency operations. The BLT journeyed for 182 days, 109 days of which were spent afloat aboard amphibious warships that sailed 32,527 nautical miles across two oceans, five seas, six gulfs and four straits. Our boots tromped dirt and sand for 73 days conducting operations on two foreign continents, 10 countries and one American state. 0f the 73 days, the Marines and Sailors spent 35 days on liberty, 18 of which they worked part of the day maintaining their equipment before enjoying an evening out. Our Marines contributed 587,320 various artillery rounds, 16,000 25MM and 5,199 60MM and 81MM mortar rounds to the lead content of our host nations soil. All this was coordinated through execution orders produced using 40,000 sheets ofthe BLT S-3 Xerox paper. All in all, it was a heck of a ride.
