USS SHREVEPORT (LPD12) is known throughout the Fleet as the "Super Gator." The symbology of the alligator represents the amphibious characteristics of the ship, combined with the Marine Corps assault vehicles, to provide a formidable force both on sea and land. Using a variety of Command and Control Communications SHREVEPORT projects power ashore by controlling waves of assault craft towards a beachhead.
