USS LST-545

USS LST-545

USS "LST-545" 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-545" was laid down on 13 December 1943 at Evansville, Ind., by the Missouri Valley Bridge and Iron Co.; launched on 12 February 1944; sponsored by Mrs. Charles M. Wright; and commissioned on 23 March 1944.

Following World War II, LST-545 performed occupation duty in the Far East until early December 1945. She returned to the United States and was decommissioned on 29 August 1946.

The "LST-545" was sunk as a target on 14 May 1948 at Enewetak Atoll in the Operation Sandstone nuclear test series, by either or both of the "Yoke" or "Zebra" shots.
