USS LST-978 was an LST-542-class tank landing ship in the United States Navy. Like many of her class, she was not named and is properly referred to by her hull designation.
Construction
LST-978 was laid down on 15 December 1944, at Hingham, Massachusetts, by the Bethlehem-Hingham Shipyard; launched on 20 January 1945; sponsored by Mrs. Anna H. Phelan; and commissioned on 15 February 1945.[3][2]
Service history
Following World War II, LST-978 performed occupation duty in the Far East until mid-December 1945. She returned to the United States and was decommissioned on 6 June 1946, and struck from the Navy list on 3 July, that same year. On 10 December 1947, the ship was sold to the Salco Iron & Metal Co., for scrapping.[3]
