060125-N-4528N-276 Norfolk, Va. (Jan. 25, 2006) - Sailors aboard the amphibious transport dock ship USS San Antonio (LPD 17) wait to cast mooring lines to the pier as the ship prepares to moor at her new homeport of Naval Station Norfolk. As the first in her class, San Antonio represents a key element of the NavyÕs sea base transformation. The San Antonio-class will functionally replace over 41 ships (LPD 4, LSD 36, LKA 113 and LST 1179 classes of amphibious ships) providing the Navy and Marine Corps with modern sea-based platforms.
