Decommissioning
USS Tuscaloosa was decommissioned 18 February 1994. The Tuscaloosa is tied to a mooring ball in Middle Loch at the Naval Inactive Ship Maintenance Facility in Pearl Harbor under the Amphibious Enhancement Plan. This vessel has been striken from the Naval Register. Its final fate is unknown. The plan will ensure adequate amphibious lift capability in a crisis. Along with the Tuscaloosa, LSTs Fresno (LST-1182), Boulder (LST-1190) and Racine (LST-1191) will be retained as mobilization assets until FY09 according to the Amphibious Ships and Landing Craft Data Book published by the Marine Corps Combat Development Command in Quantico, Virginia.
