USS Shenandoah (AD-44)

USS Shenandoah (AD-44)

USS Shenandoah (AD-44) was the fourth and final ship of the USS Yellowstone (AD-41) class ship of destroyer tenders. AD-44 was the fourth ship to bear the name, "USS Shenandoah" as named for the Shenandoah Valley. She was commissioned in 1983 only three years after the decommissioning of the previous USS Shenandoah (AD-26), also a destroyer tender.

In 1991 [http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_pnav/is_199308/ai_2328464742 US Navy Press Release: USS Shenandoah Changes Course, Steams to Persian Gulf] , USS Shenandoah was diverted to the Persian Gulf to tend ships of the U.S. Seventh Fleet's USS|Abraham Lincoln|CVN-72 Battle Group. The "Shenandoah" and her crew members were awarded the Southwest Asia Service Medal with one campaign star and the Kuwait Liberation Medal (Kuwait).

Following her decommissioning in 1996, the "USS Shenandoah" was re-located at the James River Reserve Fleet in Fort Eustis, Va., awaiting final disposal.
