USS NASSAU

USS Nassau (LHA-4) was a Tarawa-class amphibious assault ship commissioned by the United States Navy in 1979. Designed to carry and deploy Marines, helicopters, and landing craft, Nassau played a key role in projecting American power and humanitarian assistance worldwide. The ship participated in notable operations, including the Gulf War’s Operation Desert Storm in 1991, and supported missions in the Mediterranean, Caribbean, and Middle East. USS Nassau was decommissioned in 2011 after over three decades of distinguished service.
