USS Arlington (AGMR-2)

USS Arlington (AGMR-2) was a command and communications ship commissioned by the United States Navy in 1966. Originally laid down as the attack transport USS Arlington (APA-129), she was later converted to serve as an Auxiliary General Major Relay (AGMR) ship, tasked with providing advanced communications support. During the Vietnam War, Arlington played a crucial role in relaying communications between naval forces and command centers ashore, ensuring effective operational coordination. After distinguished service, she was decommissioned in 1970 and eventually scrapped, but her contributions to naval communications marked a significant advancement in fleet command and control capabilities.
