USS CAPE COD

USS Cape Cod (AD-43) was a Yellowstone-class destroyer tender commissioned by the United States Navy in 1982. Designed to provide maintenance, repair, and logistical support to destroyers and other surface combatants, she played a vital role in keeping the fleet operational. Throughout her service, Cape Cod was deployed to various locations, including support missions in the Pacific and Indian Oceans. She was decommissioned in 1995 after more than a decade of service, reflecting changing strategic needs following the end of the Cold War.
