Notes
  • Significance: The Vulcan is significant as the lead ship in the Vulcan class of repair ships, providing assistance to U.S. naval ships from ports close to the occupational areas of the Atlantic Fleet. The Vulcan participated in World War II, the occupation of Japan, the Cuban Missile Crisis, and various NATO exercises during its career. The ship is also notable for its participation as a test platform for the Women in Navy Ships (WINS) program and for helping the U.S. Navy transition toward integrating women in the fleet. The Vulcan's fifty years of service is a testament to the necessity of auxiliaries in the U.S. Navy.
