USS Prairie (AD-15)

Prior to U.S. entry into World War II, ''Prairie'' cruised between Atlantic ports from Colon, C.Z. to Argentia, Newfoundland.

She was laid down 7 December 1938 by New York Shipbuilding, Camden, New Jersey; launched 9 December 1939; sponsored by Mrs. Samuel M. Robinson; and commissioned 5 August 1940, Capt. J. B. W. Waller in command.

A floating workshop for American and other Allied destroyers, ''Prairie'' was “mother ship” to a squadron of destroyers at Argentia, the Atlantic terminus of the transatlantic convoy route. A fire from , secured astern of ''Prairie'', spread to the tender 29 May 1942 and caused extensive damage. After repairing at Boston, ''Prairie'' returned to Argentia. On 22 February 1943, U.S. Coast Guard cutter was rammed during an engagement with a German submarine; complete overhaul was provided by ''Prairie'', and ''Campbell'' sailed to the United States 27 May.
Departing Argentia 23 September, ''Prairie'' steamed to Boston, and on to Pearl Harbor in November, to remain until February 1944. She departed Pearl Harbor 7 February to move with advancing forces in operations against the Marshall Islands. Lying in sheltered waters, ''Prairie'' tended destroyers throughout the remainder of the war. Majuro Atoll had been secured 7 February, and ''Prairie'' arrived there the 13th, to remain at this advantageous point for mobile supply during the costly campaign for Tarawa. Departing Majuro 3 June, she steamed to Eniwetok, where she was while fighting progressed in the Marianas and Carolines. Reporting to Ulithi 8 October, ''Prairie'' was there at war’s end and remained until 1 October 1945, when she steamed to Tokyo Bay. On 30 November she steamed home to San Francisco.
