It's not the only one.
The American Cormorant is used to move harbor tugs, scows and barges
that don't fit in the LASH barge carriers easily to areas where
they're needed.

The American Cormorant is prepositioned at Diego Garcia when she's
not moving her small cargo. Her normal pre-arranged cargo is 2
floating cranes, two small LCUs, 10 LCMs, 4 small tugs, 2 cargo
barges.
The Strong Virginian is a variation on the theme, however it's a
Lift-on-Lift-off. The SV is Prepositioned with four large US Army
LCUs, 150 vehicles, and 420,000 gallons cargo fuel.

The logistics fleet that belongs to or is contracted to the USN is
amazingly large and diverse.
