The Dixie class destroyer tender was a class of United States Navy destroyer tenders used during World War II. This class' design was based on the specifications of USS Dixie (AD-14) and constructed based on drawings for that vessel plus ongoing modifications specified for each continued vessel of the class. The basic hull and superstructure for this class was the same as the Fulton-Class submarine tenders and Vulcan-Class repair ships.

Known Ships

  • USS  Dixie (AD-14)
  • USS Prairie (AD-15)
  • USS Piedmont (AD-17)

  • Towards the end of World War II, a modified Dixie-class destroyer tender was planned, the New England-class. New England was laid down on 1 October 1944 by the Tampa Shipbuilding Company, Inc., at Tampa, but the ship's construction was cancelled on 12 August 1945.
