LST-1130

LST-1130 was laid down on 5 December 1944 at Seneca, III., by the Chicago Bridge & Iron Co.; launched on 27 February 1945; sponsored by Miss Bessie F. Jipson; and commissioned on 20 March 1945, Lt. W. E. Johnson in command.

Following World War II, LST-1130 performed occupation duty in the Far East and saw service in China until late November 1946. She was decommissioned and abandoned on 23 March 1948 following a grounding at Yap, Caroline Islands, which left the ship in a condition beyond economical repair. LST-1130 was struck from the Navy list on 12 March 1948.
