USS Alamogordo (ARDM-2)

USS Alamogordo (ARDM-2) was a Medium Auxiliary Repair Dry Dock commissioned by the U.S. Navy in 1944. Built at the Pacific Bridge Company in Alameda, California, she served primarily in the Pacific Theater during World War II, providing essential repair and maintenance services to submarines and other naval vessels. After the war, Alamogordo continued her service, supporting fleet operations during the Cold War era. She was eventually decommissioned and struck from the Naval Vessel Register in 1993, marking the end of nearly five decades of dedicated service.
