USS Mount Hood (AE-29)

USS Mount Hood (AE-29)

The second USS "Mount Hood" (AE-29) was a Sclass|Kilauea|ammunition ship in the United States Navy. She was the second Navy ship named after Mount Hood, a volcano in the Cascade Range in Oregon.

"Mount Hood" was laid down 8 May 1967 by Bethlehem Steel Corp., Sparrows Point, Maryland; launched 17 July 1968; sponsored by Mrs. Robert A. Frosch, wife of the Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Research and Development; and was commissioned on May 1, 1971. She was homeported in Concord, California.

Unlike her seven sister ships of the "Kilauea" class, she was never transferred to the Military Sealift Command. She was decommissioned in August 1999 and held in reserve at Bremerton, Washington before being moved in October 1999 to Suisun Bay, California.
