Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal USS ABSD-5, later redesignated as AFDB-5, was a nine-section, non-self-propelled, large auxiliary floating drydock of the US Navy.

Advance Base Sectional Dock-5 (Auxiliary Floating Dock Big-5) was constructed in sections during 1943 and 1944 by the Chicago Bridge & Iron Company in Morgan City, Louisiana for World War II.

The two side walls were folded down under tow to reduce wind resistance and lower the center of gravity.

After crossing the Pacific Ocean in convoys the nine sections arrived in Leyte on 24 February 1945, with assembly completed in May 1945.

Due to the Mississippi's 30 ft (9.1 m) draft with a full load, the battleship had to unload much of her ammunition and fuel oil before entering AFDB-5.

The sections of USS Artisan (ABSD-1) had started arriving at Manicani Island in July 1945.
