История

USS Tripoli (LPH-10) — десантный корабль типа Iwo Jima, введенный в эксплуатацию в 1966 году. Он был спроектирован для перевозки морских пехотинцев и вертолетов для проведения десантных операций. Корабль участвовал во Вьетнамской войне, перевозя морскую пехоту и обеспечивая поддержку с воздуха. В 1991 году, во время войны в Персидском заливе, USS Tripoli входил в состав военно-морских сил в Персидском заливе. 18 февраля 1991 года корабль подорвался на иракской морской мине, которая пробила большую пробоину в корпусе. Мина вызвала затопление и повредила судно, но экипаж удержал его на плаву. Три часа спустя крейсер USS Princeton (CG-59), находившийся неподалеку, также подорвался на мине. Несмотря на повреждения, оба корабля выжили и были отремонтированы. USS Tripoli был выведен из состава флота в 1995 году после почти 30 лет службы.
