USS Arlington (LPD-24) carries one of the most solemn names in the modern United States Navy. Named in honor of Arlington, Virginia and dedicated to the memory of those killed in the September 11, 2001 attack on the Pentagon, she was commissioned on April 6, 2013 as the final ship of the San Antonio class. A 684-foot amphibious transport dock homeported at Naval Station Norfolk, Arlington is the Navy-Marine Corps team in steel — capable of transporting and landing Marines by landing craft, air-cushion (LCAC), amphibious assault vehicles, and helicopters in any sea state, on any shore. When America needs to project power from the sea, ships like USS Arlington lead the way. She honors the fallen with every deployment, and the sailors and Marines who serve aboard her carry that responsibility with pride.
