USS Anchorage

Not all ships are designed to rain fire down on the enemy. The USS Anchorage is an amphibious transport warship and the second to get the name Anchorage in the US Navy. This ship is 25 thousand tons and almost 700 feet in length from tip to tip. What makes the USS Anchorage special is its carrying capacity: four Sea Knight Choppers as well as two hovercraft. This ship is also used extensively as a search and recovery ship for vessels that end up caught out at sea and stranded. Two air-frame missile launches on the transport dock give the Anchorage a little bit of bite as well.
