USS **Spiegel Grove (LSD-32)** was a Thomaston-class dock landing ship commissioned by the United States Navy in 1956. The ship was named after the Ohio estate of President Rutherford B.

Throughout her service, Spiegel Grove supported amphibious operations, training exercises, and deployments, including significant roles during the Cold War and the Vietnam War era. After decades of service, she was decommissioned in 1989 and later intentionally sunk in 2002 off the coast of Florida to serve as an artificial reef and popular diving site.

Marine Detachment USS Nimitz (CVN-68)
U.S. Navy
The Marine Detachment (MARDET) aboard USS Nimitz (CVN-68) was established to provide shipboard security, ceremonial duties, and limited operational support as part of the ship’s crew. Traditionally, MARDETs have played crucial roles on U.S. Navy aircraft carriers, ensuring the safety of nuclear weapons, enforcing discipline, and augmenting the ship's defense in emergencies. The Nimitz MARDET participated in numerous deployments, including operations in the Persian Gulf and Mediterranean, supporting both combat and humanitarian missions from the ship’s commissioning in 1975 until the early 1990s. The unit was disbanded in 1998 when the Navy ended the longstanding practice of assigning Marine Detachments to its surface ships.

Serving as the principal naval air base in Alaska, NAS Kodiak played a crucial role in defending the North Pacific and supporting the Aleutian Islands Campaign against Japanese forces. The base hosted patrol squadrons, reconnaissance missions, and anti-submarine operations throughout the war.

Naval Air Station (NAS) New York was commissioned in 1943 during World War II, located at Floyd Bennett Field in Brooklyn, New York. Originally established to support naval aviation operations, the station served as a vital training and operational base for Navy and Marine Corps pilots, as well as a hub for anti-submarine warfare patrols along the Atlantic coast. Throughout the war, NAS New York played a crucial role in aircraft maintenance, pilot training, and coastal defense. After the war, the station’s activity gradually declined, and it was decommissioned in 1971, with the site eventually becoming part of the Gateway National Recreation Area.
