Construction

LST-933 was laid down on 23 June 1944, at Hingham, Massachusetts, by the Bethlehem-Hingham Shipyard; launched on 26 July 1944; and commissioned on 20 August 1944.[3][2]

Service history

During World War II, LST-933 was assigned to the Asiatic-Pacific theater and participated in the Palawan Island landings in February and March 1945, the Mindanao Island landings in April and May 1945, and the assault and occupation of Okinawa Gunto in June 1945.[3]

Following the war, LST-933 performed occupation duty in the Far East until mid-February 1946. She returned to the United States and was decommissioned on 2 July 1946, and struck from the Navy list on 15 August, that same year. On 25 May 1948, the ship was sold to Hughes Bros., Inc., New York, New York, for scrapping.[3]
