USS Acadia (AD-42) is a Yellowstone-class destroyer tender. She was commissioned on 6 June 1981.
In 1991, when the ship returned to San Diego from the deployment, thirty-six women were missing from the ship, the result of medical transfers for pregnancy. Nevertheless, the tender nicknamed the "Love Boat" received the Navy Unit Commendation for her exemplary service during the Gulf War.
