USS DIXON (AS-37) was a L. Y. Spear-class submarine tender commissioned by the United States Navy on August 7, 1971. Designed to provide maintenance, logistical support, and supplies to nuclear-powered attack submarines, Dixon served primarily with the Pacific Fleet, homeported in San Diego, California. Throughout her service, she played a crucial role in supporting submarine operations during the Cold War, ensuring fleet readiness and operational effectiveness. After nearly three decades of service, USS DIXON was decommissioned on December 15, 1995.
