USS Krishna (ARL-38)
USS ''Krishna'' (ARL-38) was one of 39 ''Achelous''-class landing craft repair ships built for the United States Navy during World War II. Named for Krishna (a deity worshipped across many traditions of Hinduism), she was the only U.S. Naval vessel to bear the name, and only one of two ships (along with the USS ''Indra'') to be named after a Hindu deity.
Originally classified ''LST-1149'', ''Krishna'' was reclassified ''ARL-38'' on 14 August 1944; laid down 23 February 1945 by Chicago Bridge & Iron Company of Seneca, Illinois; launched 25 May 1945; sponsored by Mrs. Eva Best Smith; placed in reduced commission during transfer to Mobile, Alabama for conversion; and commissioned 3 December 1945 at Mobile, with LT Lyle E. Brown in command.
==Service history==
Departing Mobile 8 January 1946 ''Krishna'' arrived Norfolk 14 January for duty with Amphibious Group 2 at Little Creek, Virginia. For more than 19 years the landing craft repair ship operated out of Little Creek, during which time support-and-repair operations carried her from Baffin Bay to the Caribbean. From 25 May to 31 August 1951 while under the command of CDR Harold C. "Brownie" Brown she participated in "Operation Blue Jay" during the initial phase of establishing the large air base at Thule, Greenland. While at Little Creek she made annual deployments to Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and other Caribbean islands supporting amphibious landing exercises.
''Krishna'' departed Little Creek 5 October 1964 and sailed to waters off southern Spain, arriving at Huelva 26 October. While there she participated in "Operation Steel Pike" (the largest amphibious landing operation since World War II, which sent more than 28,000 2nd Division Marines storming the shores on a mock invasion). One of 84 naval ships, ''Krishna'' provided support and replenishment services during this impressive exercise that clearly illustrated the strength and diversity of American naval sea power and emphasized the Navy's ability and readiness to move a vast amphibious force to any shore if needed in keeping the peace. Departing Huelva 4 November, ''Krishna'' steamed to the East Coast via Oporto, Portugal, and arrived Little Creek 29 November.
