VULCAN’S HISTORY JUNE 1941 - PRESENT VULCAN is the first of the modern repair ships. Her keel was laid on 16 December 1939 at the Camden, New Jersey Yard of the New York Shipbuilding Company. At the launching ceremonies of 14 December 1940, Mrs. James Forrestal, wife of the first Secretary of the Defense, broke the traditional bottle of champagne as VULCAN's sponsor. Official commissioning of VULCAN was held 16 June 1941 at which time VULCAN joined the Atlantic Fleet. Soon after VULCAN was pressed into service during World War II. From her commissioning to December 1944, VULCAN operated in the Atlantic and Mediterranean areas, basing at Argentia; Newfoundland; Havalfjordur, Iceland; Algiers and Mer-EI Kebir, Algeria. Her first major repair job was the emergency repairs made to the USS KEARNY (DD-432) after she had been torpedoed by a German submarine off the coast of Iceland in October of 1941. VULCAN was awarded the European-African-Middle Eastern Campaign Medal for participation in the allied invasion of Normandy (including the bombardment of Cherbourg) during the period 15 August through 25 September 1944.
