USS Eldridge
USS Eldridge was a ship of the United States Navy named for John Eldridge Jr., a hero of the invasion of the Solomon Islands. It was docked in the naval shipyard in Philadelphia.
In 1943, the ship was where a secret project was conducted by the Assassins under Colonel Boris Pash and the Templar scientist John von Neumann, in an attempt to alter the past and present. Dubbed the "Philadelphia Project", it housed Die Glocke, a precursor to the Animus.[1]
On 28 October, an erratic Eddie Gorm snuck aboard the ship following the incident in Poland that had left Julia Dusk dead. Eddie assassinated Nikola Tesla, a scientist forced to work on the project, before being confronted by Pash. Disillusioned with Pash's beliefs, Eddie committed suicide by shooting himself in the head. Without Tesla's guidance, the Philadelphia Project was ultimately a failure,[1] though the Apple of Eden powering Die Glocke did cause the USS Eldridge to briefly manifest in a future state for eighteen minutes.[2]
