USS FULTON AS-11

USS Fulton (AS-11) was a Fulton-class submarine tender commissioned by the United States Navy in 1941. Throughout World War II, she provided vital maintenance, repair, and logistical support to submarines operating in the Pacific Theater, including during key campaigns such as those in the Solomons and the Philippines. After the war, USS Fulton continued to serve through the Korean War and into the Cold War era, supporting both conventional and nuclear-powered submarines. Decommissioned in 1991, she was one of the longest-serving submarine tenders in the U.S. Navy, with a distinguished record of service spanning five decades.
