Dixie-class destroyer tender

Class of World War II destroyer tenders

The Dixie class destroyer tender was a class of five United States Navy destroyer tenders used during World War II. This class's design was based on the specifications of USS Dixie (AD-14) and constructed based on drawings for that vessel plus ongoing modifications specified for each continued vessel of the class. The basic hull and superstructure for this class was the same as the Fulton-class submarine tenders and Vulcan-class repair ships.
