USS Fresno (LST-1182)

USS Fresno (LST-1182)

USS "Fresno" was the 4th ship in the "Newport" class tank landing ships. "Fresno" was named for a city and county in California. She was laid down on 16 December 1967 at San Diego, California, by the National Steel & Shipbuilding Company; launched on 28 September 1968; sponsored by Mrs. Marilyn Hyde; and commissioned on 22 November 1969 with Commander Stanislaus J. Sowinski in command.

Assigned to the Amphibious Force, Pacific Fleet, and homeported at San Diego, California, "Fresno" alternated amphibious training operations along the west coast of the United States with regular, extended deployments to the western Pacific. She continued this regimen into 1980. "Fresno" saw extensive service during the latter stages of the Vietnam War. "Fresno" is currently berthed at the Naval Inactive Ship Maintenance Facility (NISMF), Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.

"Fresno" earned two engagement stars for Vietnam service.
