Historical Notes:

USS CAMDEN was commissioned 1 April 1967 as the second of four fast combat support ships. Assigned to the Pacific Fleet in September 1967, it was homeported in Long Beach, California. On 7 February 1974, CAMDEN moved to its new homeport of Bremerton, Washington . The ship operates extensively up and down the West Coast of the United States and deploys frequently to the Western Pacific and Indian Oceans to support units of the SEVENTH Fleet. In March 1996, CAMDEN was awarded its third consecutive Battle "E" for demonstrating excellence in all warfare and mission categories.
