USN

U.S. Navy

The USN stands for the United States Navy, which is the naval warfare branch of the United States Armed Forces. It is responsible for conducting operations at sea, on land, and in the air to protect and defend the United States and its interests. The USN operates a vast fleet of ships, submarines, and aircraft to carry out its missions around the world. It plays a crucial role in maintaining national security and projecting American power globally.

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.
