USS Teaberry (AN-34/YN-29) was a net laying ship of the United States Navy, commissioned in 1943 during World War II. Built at the American Shipbuilding Company in Lorain, Ohio, she was tasked with laying and tending anti-submarine nets to protect Allied harbors and anchorages. USS Teaberry served in both the Atlantic and Pacific theaters, supporting operations in locations such as Bermuda and later in the Pacific islands. After the war, she continued service for a short period before being decommissioned in 1947 and eventually struck from the Naval Vessel Register.

USS Telfair (APA-210) was a Haskell-class attack transport commissioned by the United States Navy in October 1944. She played a vital role in World War II, participating in the Okinawa campaign by delivering troops and equipment under heavy enemy attack. After the war, Telfair assisted in occupation duties in the Far East and supported Operation Magic Carpet by bringing veterans home. The ship was decommissioned in 1946, briefly recommissioned for service during the Korean War, and ultimately struck from the Naval Vessel Register in 1970.

USS Tennessee (SSBN-734) is an Ohio-class ballistic missile submarine commissioned into the United States Navy on December 17, 1988. As the lead ship of the "Trident II" subclass, she was the first submarine designed to carry the advanced Trident D5 ballistic missile. Homeported at Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay, Georgia, USS Tennessee conducts strategic deterrence patrols as a critical component of the U.S. nuclear triad. Over her decades of service, she has earned multiple awards for operational excellence and remains an integral asset in maintaining national security.

**USS Thrasher/Mobile Riverine Force 13 and 15** were key elements of the United States Navy’s brown-water operations during the Vietnam War. The Mobile Riverine Force (MRF), a joint Army-Navy force, was established in 1967 to conduct riverine assault and interdiction missions in the Mekong Delta, with Task Force 117 as its naval component. Assault Support Patrol Boats (ASPBs) like the USS Thrasher provided vital firepower, troop transport, and security along Vietnam’s complex waterways. Units 13 and 15 frequently engaged in search-and-destroy operations, convoy escorts, and amphibious landings, playing a crucial role in disrupting Viet Cong supply lines and supporting ground forces in the delta’s hostile terrain. Their actions significantly contributed to U.S. efforts to control key river networks and stabilize the region during the conflict.
