  • USS Richland (YFD-64/AFDM-8) was an AFDM-3-class medium auxiliary floating drydock built in California for the U.S. Navy. Originally named USS YFD-64, she was towed to the Philippine Islands and Guam where she served until war's end. In 1946 she was placed back into service to support submarine maintenance at Guam for the next forty years.
