Uss yamacraw

USS Yamacraw (initially designated as a cable-laying ship, ARC-5) served in the United States Navy during World War II and later in the Cold War era. Commissioned in 1942, Yamacraw was originally built as a commercial cable ship but was acquired by the Navy for its expertise in laying and repairing undersea cables, which were crucial for secure military communications. Throughout the war, she operated primarily in the Atlantic, supporting operations by maintaining vital communication lines. After World War II, Yamacraw continued serving under the Military Sea Transportation Service and participated in various scientific and research missions until she was decommissioned in 1965.
