During World War II, LST-925 was assigned to the Asiatic-Pacific theater. She took part in the Lingayen Gulf landings in January 1945. [3] In the early hours of 10 January she was damaged by Japanese Army Shin'yō-class suicide motorboats in Lingayen Gulf and beached on "Orange Beach" to avoid sinking. [4]
She returned to the United States and was decommissioned on 26 November 1945, and struck from the Navy list on 5 December, that same year. On 9 May 1948, the ship was sold to Consolidated Builders Inc., Seattle, Washington, for scrapping. [3]
