USS Recruit ( TDE - 1 ) USS " Recruit " ( TDE - 1 , later TFFG - 1 ) was a landlocked " dummy " training ship of the United States Navy , located at the Naval Training Center in the Point Loma area of San Diego . She was built to scale , two - thirds the size of a destroyer escort , and was commissioned on July 27 , 1949 . " Recruit " was commissioned for 18 years , for much of that period the only landlocked ship to hold that status in the U . S . Navy . " Sailing " on a sea of concrete at the Naval Training Center , she assisted with the training of over 50 , 000 new recruits per year , providing an education in the fundamentals of shipboard drills and procedures , using standard deck and bridge gear like that found on all naval vessels , including lifelines , accommodation ladders , signal halyards , searchlights , the engine order telegraph and the helm . However , due to her landlocked status , " Recruit " lacked an engine or screw , and therefore was affectionately nicknamed the " USS " Neversail " . " ( The same nickname , " The Neversail , " was also applied to the landlocked " ship " at NTC Bainbridge in Maryland . ) Reflecting her dual identity as both a ship and a building , she was also known as Building 430 , located on Geary Drive between Evans and Chauncey roads . " Recruit " was decommissioned in March 1967 , due to the inability to classify the unique ship in a computerized registry of Navy vessels .

Commissioned or otherwise , she served continuously as a training facility from her construction in 1949 until the base was closed by the BRAC commission in 1997 . The " Recruit " still stands , currently unused , with the hope that she will someday become a maritime museum . She is included in the Naval Training Center ' s listing on the National Register of Historic Places . She now stands adjacent to a retail area of Liberty Station , as the redeveloped base is known , and can be seen from North Harbor Drive . She appears to be the only surviving example of the Navy ' s landlocked ships , or " landships " . Her predecessor , a wooden " battleship " built in Union Square in New York City in 1917 , was dismantled in 1920 . The , located at the United States Naval Training Center , Bainbridge in Maryland , was dismantled when the base closed in the 1970s . The , located at Naval Training Center Orlando in Florida , was also dismantled when this base closed March 31 , 1995 .
