Welcome to the website of the

USS L. Y. SPEAR (AS-36) Association! 

USS L. Y. SPEAR (AS-36) underway

This site is meant to be a source of information for those who served aboard the

USS L. Y. Spear and their families.  We feel it is very important to have as much input from those who were involved with the ship and to have that information posted on this site.

If you have any information about the Spear or her crew, or would like to submit photos or other memorabilia, please contact the webmaster.

We will post all pertinent information as soon as possible.

This site is still under construction so please check back often as new items are added.  Some of the links on the right are "active" so feel free to look around at what we have so far.

Status of the SPEAR

On Friday, July 9, 2010, the USS L. Y. SPEAR was awarded to Esco Marine, Inc. Ship Recycling Facility.  We anticipate the SPEAR's movement from Norfolk Naval Shipyard to Brownsville, Texas, to take place in the next couple of weeks, and will post updates here as they become available.  As of July 16th, her status on the Naval Vessel Register (NVR) remains "Stricken, to be disposed of."
