    USS

    was a
    Yellowstone
    -class
    destroyer tender
    in the service of the
    United States Navy
    , named after
    Acadia National Park
    . She was inactive and in reserve after her 1994 decommissioning at
    Naval Inactive Ship Maintenance Facility
    (NISMF),
    Pearl Harbor
    , Hawaii, under maintenance category B, until sunk off Guam during a live-fire training exercise (
    Valiant Shield
    ) on 20 September 2010. She was the first ship to house a wartime mixed-sex crew and was unofficially nicknamed "The Love Boat" in the 1991
    Persian Gulf War
