USS LST-274 was a LST-1-class tank landing ship in the United States Navy during World War II.[1]

Construction and career

LST-274 was laid down on 11 March 1943 at American Bridge Co., Seneca, Indiana. Launched on 15 August 1943 and commissioned on 28 September 1943.[2]

She was present during the West Loch disaster and she was moored with LST-69, LST-225, LST-205, LST-43, LST-179, LST-353, and LST-39. No crew members were lost aboard the ship during that disaster.[3]

During World War II, LST-274 was assigned to the Asiatic-Pacific theater. She took part in the Occupation of Kwajalein and Majuro Atolls, 31 January to 8 February 1944 and Battle of Saipan from 17 June to 3 July 1944.

LST-274 was decommissioned on 6 May 1946 and struck from the Navy Register on 23 June 1947.

On 29 June 1948, she was sold for scrap to Alexander Shipyard, Inc., New Orleans, Louisiana.[1]
