The Fulton class was a class of seven United States Navy submarine tenders. The class took its name from the lead ship, USS Fulton (AS-11), which was commissioned 27 December 1940 by Mare Island Navy Yard and sponsored by Mrs. A. T. Sutcliffe, great-granddaughter of Robert Fulton. Fulton was commissioned on 12 September 1941.[1] The basic hull and superstructure for this class was the same as the Dixie-class destroyer tenders and Vulcan-class repair ships.
