NOTE ON DECOMMISSIONING DATES: There were a number of ships that were decommissioned and then recommissioned for further service. Only the final decommis-

sioning date is listed for these ships. Many ships were also placed out of commission during major rennovations or yard periods. In some cases the records regarding

decommissioning dates were not complete. Consequently, the decommissioning date was left blank if it was unknown.

*** These LHA/LPH/LHDs are counted the same since mission is very similar.
