USS LST-872

USS LST-872

USS "LST-872" 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-872" was laid down on 18 November 1944 at Jeffersonville, Indiana, by the Jeffersonville Boat & Machinery Co.; launched on 28 December 1944; sponsored by Mrs. Carrie I. Morris; and commissioned on 22 January 1945.

"LST-872" performed no combat service with the United States Navy and was decommissioned on 8 July 1946 and struck from the Navy list on 15 August that same year. On 27 October 1947, she was sold to the Northwest Merchandising Service, renamed "Doña Micaela" and transferred to Argentina. [Friedman, p. 569]

In Argentine Navy service, "LST-872" was named ARA "Cabo San Gonzalo" and redesignated "BDT-4" (Buque Desembarco de Tanques), later "Q44". She was retired in 1979. [ [http://www.histarmar.com.ar/Armada%20Argentina/ListGralBuques900a2003.htm ArmadaArgentina ] ]
