USS San Onofre ARD 30

**USS San Onofre (ARD-30)** was an Auxiliary Repair Dock constructed for the United States Navy during World War II. Commissioned in 1944, ARD-30 provided vital floating drydock services, enabling repair and maintenance of naval vessels in forward areas of the Pacific Theater. After the war, the unit continued to serve the fleet during the early Cold War, supporting peacetime operations and readiness. Eventually, USS San Onofre was decommissioned and struck from the Naval Vessel Register, concluding decades of behind-the-scenes support that kept the Navy’s ships combat-ready.
