-----------------------------------------
The USS Dahlgren is the lead ship in the newest class of heavy assault and landing (HAL) ships. Originally started with the USS Tinian in 1946 with the conversion of the unfinished USS Kentucky (BB-65). The concept was proven during 1st Korean war as powerful command and control platform as well as a quick response vessel capable of conducting beach assaults entirely unsupported. The design was further improved in the mid 70s with the removal of on of the main turrets and the addition of a well deck and numerous AGS to handle a wide variety of threats.
