USS Colbert

USS Colbert (APA-145) was a Haskell-class attack transport in service with the United States Navy from 1945 to 1946.

She sailed on to Ulithi to load Japanese and Korean prisoners of war, with whom she returned to Pearl Harbor 28 June.

After a brief stateside overhaul, Colbert put to sea 21 July 1945 to carry troops to Ulithi and Okinawa, where she lay until 5 September.

She remained in reserve fleet until she was sold for scrapping on 21 August 1974, to Nicolai Joffe Corpiration, Beverly Hills, California (USA).
