Service history
Following World War II, LST-1061 performed occupation duty in the Far East until mid-September 1945. She returned to the United States and was decommissioned on 1 May 1946, and struck from the Navy list on 3 July, that same year. On 1 March 1948, the ship was sold to the Texas Petroleum Co. for operation.{{sfn|DANFS}}
