Originally laid down as ''LST-81'' on 8 March 1943 at Jeffersonville, Indiana by the Jeffersonville Boat & Machine Company; launched on 28 May 1943; sponsored by Miss Bettie Meador; and commissioned on 21 July 1943. She was decommissioned on 19 July 1943 and redesignated ''ARL-5'' on 20 July 1943. On 29 July 1943 she was transferred to the United Kingdom and served the Royal Navy as HM ''LSE-1'' until 21 May 1946 when she was returned to the United States. She was struck from the Naval Vessel Register on 29 October 1946. On 20 August 1947 LST-81 was sold to Argentina and served that government as ARA ''Ingeniero Hodesh'' (Q-21), then renamed ARA ''Ingeniero Iribas'' (Q-21).
