USS **Bryce Canyon (AD-36)** was a Shenandoah-class destroyer tender commissioned by the United States Navy in September 1950. Named after Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah, she provided vital repair, maintenance, and logistical support to destroyers and other ships, primarily in the Pacific Fleet. During the Korean War and throughout the Cold War, Bryce Canyon operated out of ports such as Pearl Harbor, Yokosuka, and Subic Bay, supporting fleet operations and enhancing naval readiness. After over two decades of service, she was decommissioned in 1981 and later sold for scrap.

USS Hopewell (DD-681) was a Fletcher-class destroyer commissioned by the United States Navy in 1943. She served with distinction in the Pacific Theater during World War II, participating in major operations such as the invasions of the Philippines, Iwo Jima, and Okinawa, where she provided fire support and screened larger vessels from enemy attacks. After the war, Hopewell was decommissioned but later recommissioned for service during the Korean War, where she conducted shore bombardments and patrols. The ship continued her service through the early years of the Vietnam War before being decommissioned in 1970 and ultimately scrapped in 1972.
