USS ''Lycoming'' (APA-155) was a ''Haskell''-class attack transport acquired by the U.S. Navy during World War II for the task of transporting troops to and from combat areas. ''Lycoming'' (''APA 155'') was laid down 30 May 1944 by the Oregon Shipbuilding Corp., Portland, Oregon, under a Maritime Commission contract; launched 25 July 1944; sponsored by Mrs. Schuyler N. Pyne, wife of Captain (later Rear Admiral) Pyne; acquired by the Navy and commissioned at Astoria, Oregon, 20 September 1944, Comdr. D. B. Coleman in command. == World War II service ==
After shakedown off the U.S. West Coast, ''Lycoming'' sailed into Seattle, Washington, 1 November 1944 to serve as a training ship for new attack transport crews. Testing her own training, she departed the U.S. West Coast, with 1,411 troops embarked, for Pearl Harbor and the western Pacific Ocean. Arriving Leyte, Philippine Islands, 24 February, she was assigned to Transport Squadron 13 which was already rehearsing for the Okinawa invasion. Despite enemy kamikaze attacks she debarked 1,294 officers and men of the Army’s 7th Division Artillery with their ordnance and supplies on this enemy bastion between 1 and 5 April. Her mission accomplished, she returned to the United States 11 May for additional troops.
