USS Mesa Verde

The Mesa Verde, commissioned in 2007, has served as a versatile amphibious transport dock in both Atlantic and Pacific operations. Her San Antonio-class design gives her exceptional flexibility—able to conduct diverse missions from humanitarian assistance to combat amphibious operations. She has deployed to the Mediterranean and beyond, always delivering her Marines to where they needed to be. The ancient cliff dwellings her name evokes speak to a tradition of endurance that her crew embodies.
