Norfolk, Va. (Jan. 25, 2006) -- The amphibious transport dock ship USS
San Antonio (LPD 17) gets assistance from a tugboat as she prepares to
moor at her new homeport of Naval Station Norfolk, Va. As the first in
her class, San Antonio represents a key element of the Navy's sea base
transformation. The San Antonio-class will functionally replace over 41
ships (LPD 4, LSD 36, LKA 113 and LST 1179 classes of amphibious ships)
providing the Navy and Marine Corps with modern sea-based platforms.
