USS Greer County (LST-799)
USS ''Greer County'' (LST-799) was a (LST) built for the United States Navy during World War II. She was named for Greer County, Oklahoma on 1 July 1955, and the only U.S. Naval vessel to bear the name.
Originally laid down as ''LST-799 '' by the Jeffersonville Boat & Machine Company of Jeffersonville, Indiana on 25 August 1944; launched on 3 October, sponsored by Miss Mary R. Whalen; and commissioned at New Orleans, Louisiana on 21 October 1944, with Lieutenant Daniel C. Millet in command.
== World War II ==
Following shakedown off Florida, ''LST-799'' loaded construction equipment at Gulfport, Mississippi, and steamed on 29 November for the West Coast. Loading ammunition cargo at San Francisco, California, she departed on 13 February 1945, and arrived at Saipan on 24 March. Two days later she was en route to Okinawa, where the largest amphibious operation of the Pacific war was about to begin. Under the threat of enemy air raids, ''LST-799'' approached the beaches of Okinawa on 2 April, one day after the initial landings. On 3 April ''LST-599'' was hit by a kamikaze and a fire-rescue party from ''LST-799'' assisted in extinguishing the blaze caused by the impact. The landing ship was on General Quarters consistently during the next month as the enemy made a futile effort to stop the accelerating American drive across the Pacific toward Japan. Departing Okinawa on 8 May, ''LST-799'' sailed to Ulithi and for the rest of the war shuttled cargo among the American-held bases.
Following the end of World War II, she supported occupation forces in Japan and the Philippines until 22 April 1946 when she decommissioned at Japan.
