July 19, 2003 The Pre-Commissioning Unit (PCU) San Antonio was christened, by Texas Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison, during a ceremony at Northrop Grumman Ship Systems (NGSS) Avondale Operations in New Orleans. It is the first surface ship ever designed in "virtual reality," using computer modeling to design most of the ship before any steel was ever cut. It is also the first to feature the Advanced Enclosed Mast/Sensor system that replaces conventional masts, protecting radar and communications antennas from weather and allowing their electronic signals to pass through. The San Antonio class will functionally replace more than 41 ships (LPD 4, LSD 36, LKA 113 and LST 1179 classes of amphibious ships) providing the Navy and Marine Corps with modern, sea-based platforms.

December 3, Crew members of USS San Antonio made a daring rescue Dec. 1 in the Atlantic Ocean. With stormy seas and winds upward around 40 nautical miles per hour, fishing vessel "Miss Melissa" was taking on water fast at around 2:30 p.m. when San Antonio sprung into action. The San Antonio answered the distress call immediately deploying a crew of five personnel in a ridged hull inflatable boat (RHIB) to retrieve the crew, later sending a team back to the fishing vessel to assist with dewatering efforts.

The failures included a broken electronic circuit card that disabled the starboard steering system and prevented the ship from leaving port; the failure of a ventilation system in the fuel pumping room, which allowed for the build-up of flammable vapors; and momentary loss of radio communications between pilots and landing signal officers on the flight deck, forcing the systems to be reset during take-offs and landings.
