第二次世界大战期间,海上战场空前激烈,舰艇集群行动的规模庞大,具有统一的指挥十分必要。在登陆作战中,在己方部队尚未占领海滩及没有完成纵深发展时,在沿海舰艇上对登陆波次、海空火力支援的指挥协调尤为重要。当时美、英等国利用民船进行改装作为指挥舰,起到了一定作用。战后,随着海军技术装备的飞速发展,美国感受到在现代海战,尤其是现代登陆作战中,需要更多的指挥、协调部门,而二战中改装的指挥舰从舱容到装备已无改进发展余地,因此美海军在1965～1966财政年度获得拨款,建造两艘专门用于两栖指挥的舰艇“蓝岭”级。该级首舰“蓝岭”号舷号 LCC 19,1967年2月 During the Second World War, the battlefield at sea was unprecedented in intensity. The scale of the operation of naval cluster was huge and it was necessary to have a unified command. During the landing operations, it is especially important for the command and coordination of landed waves and sea-air fire support on coastal vessels when their own troops have not occupied the beach and have not yet completed their in-depth development. At that time, the United States, Britain and other countries using civilian ships as the command ship to be modified, played a certain role. After the war, with the rapid development of naval technology and equipment, the United States felt that more command and coordination departments were needed in modern naval battles, especially in modern landing operations. However, the command ship modified from World War II had no improvement from its capacity to equipment So the United States Navy won funding for the financial year 1965-1966 and built two “Blue Ridge” vessels dedicated to amphibious command. The first class “Blue Ridge” was the LCC 19, February 1967
