USS Arlington (LPD 24), a San
Antonio-class amphibious transport dock, is the third ship
of the United States Navy to be named for Arlington,
Virginia, the location of the Pentagon and the crash site of
American Airlines Flight 77 during the terrorist attacks on
September 11, 2001.
Like her sister ships, USS New York
(LPD 21) and USS Somerset (LPD-25), Arlington is named in
commemoration of the attacks. Steel taken from the Pentagon
after the attacks is displayed aboard in the ship's museum.
