Metompkin Island
Metompkin Island is a barrier island off the east coast of Virginia in the United States. It is located in Accomack County. A proposed United States Navy seaplane tender, USS "Metomkin" (AVP-47), was to have been named for Metomkin Island, but the ship was cancelled in 1943 before construction could begin. However, a U.S. Navy cargo ship, USS "Metomkin" (AG-136), in commission from 1947 to 1951, did carry the island's name.
