USS ''Harry Lee'' (APA-10) was a ''Harry Lee''-class attack transport that saw service with the US Navy during World War II. She served in the Pacific War, as well as in North Atlantic Ocean operations, and safely returned home post-war with seven battle stars to her credit. She was the only ship in her class. ''Harry Lee'' was built as the passenger ship SS ''Exochorda'' by New York Shipbuilding Co., Camden, New Jersey, in 1931 and operated in the Mediterranean area for American Export Lines. Acquired by the Navy 30 October 1940, she was converted at Tietjen and Lang Dry Dock Co., Hoboken, New Jersey, and commissioned ''Harry Lee'' (AP-17) 27 December 1940, Captain R. P. Hinrichs in command. ''Harry Lee'' was redesignated ''APA-10'', 1 February 1943. == Pre-World War II North Atlantic operations == ''Harry Lee'' spent the first few months of her commissioned service transporting U.S. Marine combat units to the Caribbean for training exercises, helping to build the amphibious teams which were to find such great success in the later stages of World War II. After a stay at Norfolk, Virginia, the transport was assigned in July to the Iceland route, carrying troops and supplies to that country from Norfolk and New York.
