LSD 32 Spiegel Grove

USS **Spiegel Grove (LSD-32)** was a Thomaston-class dock landing ship commissioned by the United States Navy in 1956. The ship was named after the Ohio estate of President Rutherford B. Hayes, "Spiegel Grove." Throughout her service, Spiegel Grove supported amphibious operations, training exercises, and deployments, including significant roles during the Cold War and the Vietnam War era. After decades of service, she was decommissioned in 1989 and later intentionally sunk in 2002 off the coast of Florida to serve as an artificial reef and popular diving site.
