USS Newberry (APA-158)
USS ''Newberry'' (APA-158) 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.
''Newberry'' (''APA–158'') was laid down under Maritime Commission contract 10 June 1944 by Oregon Shipbuilding Corp., Portland, Oregon; launched 24 August 1944; sponsored by Mrs. Joseph M. McDonald; acquired by the Navy on a loan-charter basis 6 October 1944; and commissioned the next day, Comdr. David R. Phoebus in command.
== World War II service ==
Newberry conducted shakedown off the U.S. West Coast, then departed San Francisco, California, for Hawaii, where she conducted final training in amphibious operations. On 31 December 1944 she embarked units of the U.S. 4th Marine Division, and the following month left Pearl Harbor for the invasion of Iwo Jima. For 10 days following D-day, 17 February 1945, the attack transport landed her Marines and took on a total of 439 wounded. Speedy medical attention doubtless saved many from certain death. ''Newberry'' departed Iwo for Guam on the 27th.
Sailing via Saipan, she embarked part of the U.S. 2d Marine Division at Guam on 8 March, and on the 27th, got underway for the Okinawa operation. Standing in reserve, her troops were not needed; and she returned them to Saipan in April. ''Newberry'' remained there until early in June, then sailed to Espiritu Santo for supplies. She returned to Guam 2 July and sailed for San Francisco less than two weeks later, arriving on the 27th.
