USS Resolute (AFDM-10), (formerly YFD-67), was a AFDM-3-class floating dry dock built in 1945 and operated by the United States Navy.

Construction and career

YFD-67 was built by the Chicago Bridge and Iron Co., in Chicago, Illinois in 1945. She was delivered to the Navy on 1 January 1945 and commissioned later that year. The dry dock was later re-designated as AFDM-10 and given the name Resolute.

In November 1984, USS Finback (SSN-670) commenced her Selected Restricted Availability (SRA) docked in Resolute. On 25 January 1987, USS Hyman G. Rickover (SSN-709) began a SRA that included drydocking in Resolute at Norfolk.

Resolute dry docked Los Angeles-class submarines on 25 June 1995 and 12 April 1996. USS Oklahoma City (SSN-723) was dry docked on 12 August 1996. Later that year on 12 December, USS Minneapolis–Saint Paul (SSN-708) underwent repair work.

In December 2004, the dry dock was towed to the West Coast and leased to Todd-Pacific Shipyards. On 5 February 2014, USS Momsen (DDG-92) was repaired on board the former Resolute. In early January 2019, USCGC Healy (WAGB-20) was overhauled and refitted inside the dry dock. From December 2019 until mid-2021, cruisers USS Chosin (CG-65) and USS Cape St. George (CG-71) were dry docked for Modernization Periods (MODPRD). Other ships worked on include USS Sampson (DDG-102), USS Coronado (LCS-4) and USS Manchester (LCS-14)
