USS SIMON LAKE
U.S. Navy
USS SIMON LAKE (AS-33) was a Simon Lake-class submarine tender commissioned by the United States Navy in 1964. Named after the submarine pioneer Simon Lake, the vessel provided vital repair, resupply, and logistical support to the Navy's submarine fleet, particularly ballistic missile submarines, during the Cold War. Throughout her service, USS SIMON LAKE operated in both the Atlantic and Mediterranean, supporting operations from bases such as Holy Loch, Scotland, and La Maddalena, Italy. After nearly four decades of service, she was decommissioned in 1999, having played a key role in maintaining the operational readiness of the US Navy’s submarine force.
