USS ''LST-1064'' was an ''LST-542''-class tank landing ship of the United States Navy. She was later named ''Nansemond County'' (LST-1064), but never saw active service under that name. She was laid down on 9 January 1945 at the Bethlehem-Hingham Shipyard, Hingham, Massachusetts and was launched on 14 February 1945, called simply USS ''LST-1064''. She was commissioned on 12 March 1945 by Lieutenant Leland H. Austin. == USS ''LST-1064'' == Following a shakedown in the Chesapeake Bay area, ''LST-1064'' loaded a cargo of ammunition at NWS Earle, New Jersey, and sailed for the Pacific war front, reaching Ulithi on 23 June 1945. As the end of the war approached, LST Group 99 advanced its operations to the Philippines, and at Leyte ''LST-1064'' transferred her cargo to fleet ships while loading new supplies and embarking units of an air service group destined to strengthen the occupation forces in Japan. Two voyages to Yokohama took place between 4 October and 19 November before arrival of orders to return home. ''LST-1064'' spent Christmas 1945 at Saipan; New Year's Day on the high seas, and before the end of January 1946, liberty in California. After one year of service, inactivation commenced at Astoria, Oregon, culminating on 21 August when ''LST-1064'' was fully decommissioned and laid up in the Pacific Reserve Fleet, Columbia River Group. She was named ''Nansemond County'' on 1 July 1955 after Nansemond County, Virginia, then was slated for disposal on 17 September 1959. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「USS LST-1064」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
