ARCO (ARDM-5) is a medium Auxiliary Repair Dry Dock named after the town of Arco, Idaho. Her keel was laid on May 9, 1983 by Todd Pacific Shipyards in Seattle, Washington and launched on December 14th, 1984. Placed in service on the 23rd of June, 1986 in the heart of San Diego’s Point Loma Submarine Station, today she provides service to submarines requiring precise hull maintenance and overhaul. In addition to having the ability to use her ballasting tanks to raise and lower submarines from the water, she provides much needed services to the submarine during availability to keep tight availability schedules timely and efficient. The entire docking processes is a provision of excellence by the crew of ARCO, taking nearly 16 hours to complete one docking, the ability to masterfully exert the alignment and securing of the vessel. While primarily used to dry-dock submarines,, the 2,941,176 cubic foot, 61 feet tall Arco can house any number of seagoing vessels displacing less than 7,800 tons.
