USS Saint Croix River (LSM(R)-524)
USS ''Saint Croix River'' (LSM(R)-524) was a rocket-equipped Landing Ship of the United States Navy during World War II.
''Saint Croix River'' was laid down a few days before the end of the Second World War on 5 May 1945. Build in Houston, Texas, ''Saint Croix River'' was launched on 9 June, and initially commissioned on 14 August as USS ''LSMR-524'' before being awarded the name of the St. Croix River between Maine and Canadian New Brunswick in 1955. Despite earning the American and World War II campaign decorations, ''Saint Croix River'' never saw action nor traveled further than Chesapeake Bay or the Gulf Coast of the United States, and was sold in 1961, with its subsequent fate unknown to the US Navy.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=USS St. Croix River (LSMR-524) )〕
==Career==
''Saint Croix River'' was laid down on 5 May 1945 in Houston under the contact of the Brown Shipbuilding Company based there. Construction took a mere four weeks, and she was launched on 9 June along with her 143-man crew recently arrived from the training courses in Little Creek, Norfolk, Virginia.〔 Commissioned ''LSMR-524'' on 14 August 1945 during a ceremony at the Southern Pacific Docks in Houston, she was given to Lieutenant Stephen A. Humsjo of the United States Navy Reserve, had her previously absent 5" SS rocket launchers installed, and underwent her shakedown cruise along the Gulf Coast of the United States and off the coast of Virginia in September 1945.〔〔Dictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships, V. 6, 1976, p. 238.〕 She then sailed to Florida, practicing live fire exercises of her all weapons en route to joining the Atlantic Reserve Fleet. She also engaged in similar training during a subsequent journey to Chesapeake Bay before returning to Florida. Two log reports from January and March 1946 survive:
