==Service history==
During World War II, ''LST-758'' was assigned to the Asiatic-Pacific theater and participated in the assault and occupation of Iwo Jima in February, 1945, and the assault and occupation of Okinawa Guntō in April through June, 1945. Following the war, she performed occupation duty in the Far East until mid-September 1945. ''LST-758'' was decommissioned on 13 July 1946, and recommissioned on 3 November 1950 for service in the Korean War. She saw service in Korea until late November, 1953. I James E. Thompson went aboard the 758 in November, 1950, and was discharged from it on 1 February, 1954. She was scheduled to leave Korea in July 1953. When the armistice was signed in June she was held over to return prisoners from Koje Do Island to Inchon. Pens were built on the tank deck that held 600 prisoners and she made three trips to Inchon. She sailed to Long Beach, California, in November. On 1 July, 1955, the ship was redesignated USS ''Duval County'' (LST-758). Following the Korean War, she saw extensive service with the Pacific and Atlantic Fleets through 1969. ''Duval County'' was decommissioned on 28 October, 1969. Laid up in the Reserve Fleet, the ship was struck from the Naval Vessel Register on 1 November, 1976. After custody was transferred to MARAD for lay up in the National Defense Reserve Fleet, she was sold by MARAD on 18 August, 1981; her final fate is unknown.
