pre 1981?

Does the ship have no history before 1981? Right now the Ship History section starts with "From 1981 to 2005,". The Ship's construction started in 1969. This site says it was launched exactly a year later, in 1970. According to this US Navy web site it was commissioned in 1971. What was its role between 1971 and 1981?

Feel free to research that and help build the article. ;-) - wolf 17:53, 3 November 2018 (UTC)

Beam ?

Listed beam is 108 feet- as wide as a Battleship - near the Panama Canal original Limits. I doubt the true beam is this large. Would any know actual beam at waterline - say midpoint from bow to stern? Overall width with the sponsons for boat davits - I can believe the 108 foot value there. But the true definition of Beam is at water lime - and I doubt it is that high. I'd believe 84 feet- the Austin Class LPD are listed as 84 feet beam at waterline and 105 feet extreme width.
