USS Burnett County (LST-512) was an LST-491-class tank landing ship built for the United States Navy during World War II.

LST-512 was laid down on 22 July 1943, at Seneca, Illinois by the Chicago Bridge & Iron Company; launched on 10 December 1943; and conducted her trial runs in the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers.

[2] In October 1944, a severe storm in the English channel broached the ship on the beach, "breaking her back."

Leaving Norfolk, Virginia, in April 1945, the ship sailed to Miami, Florida, where soil and palm trees were loaded aboard to create a Pacific Island Jungle on a portion of the tank deck.

Once the landing zone was "secured", the ship would approach the beach and offload additional Amtracs, tanks and vehicles.

Invasions were demonstrated in several cities, including Detroit, Rochester, Buffalo, Cleveland, Toledo, Duluth, Milwaukee, and Chicago.
