USS Acadia (AD-42)
U.S. Navy
USS Acadia (AD-42) was a Yellowstone-class destroyer tender commissioned by the United States Navy in 1981. Designed to provide maintenance and logistical support to destroyers and other surface ships, Acadia played a crucial role during the Gulf War, deploying to the Persian Gulf as part of Operation Desert Shield and Operation Desert Storm. The ship became notable as the first U.S. Navy combat vessel to deploy with a mixed-gender crew during wartime. After over a decade of service, USS Acadia was decommissioned in 1994 and later sold for scrap.
