USS LST-1001

USS "LST-1001" was an "LST-542"-class tank landing ship in the United States Navy. Like many of her class, she was not named and is properly referred to by her hull designation.

"LST-1001" was laid down on 26 February 1944 at the Boston Navy Yard; launched on 27 March 1944; and commissioned on 20 June 1944, with LCDR. G. C. Masterson, USNR, in command.

During World War II LST-1001 was first assigned to the European Theater (convoy HXM 30) and later reassigned to the Asiatic-Pacific Theater and participated in the assault and occupation of Okinawa Gunto in May and June 1945.

Following World War II LST-1001 performed occupation duty in the Far East until mid-September 1945.

"LST-1001" earned one battle star for World War II service.
