Description:

USS Miguel Keith (ESB-5) (formerly USNS Miguel Keith (T-ESB-5)) is a Lewis B. Puller-class expeditionary mobile base, one of three such ships in service with the United States Navy (USN) as of late 2021.

The ship was named in honor of US Marine Corps Lance Corporal Miguel Keith by Secretary of the Navy Richard V. Spencer at the 242nd Marine Corps Birthday Ball held in National Harbor, Maryland, on 5 November 2017. The ship’s namesake received the Medal of Honor posthumously for combat action in Quang Ngai Province during the Vietnam War in 1970.

Length 785 ft (239 m)
Beam 164 ft (50 m)
Draft 34.4 ft (10.5 m)

Together with the USNS Montford Point, the Miguel Keith is her cousin ship, and I am delighted with the result of the two ships.
