USS SCHENECTADY was the seventh ship in the NEWPORT - class of Tank Landing Ships. Homeported in San Diego, Ca., she was decommissioned on December 15, 1993, and transfered to the Naval Inactive Ships Maintenance Facility (NISMF), Pearl Harbor, HI, where she spent the following 11 years. Stricken from the Navy list on July 13, 2001, the SCHENECTADY was sunk as a target by the US Air Force on November 23, 2004. The SINKEX took place north of Kauai, Hawaii, and was intended to demonstrate the use of "smart bombs" against moving targets.
