USS LST-871

USS LST-871 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.

Following World War II, LSTH-871 performed occupation duty in the Far East until early May 1946.

She returned to the United States and was decommissioned on 4 October 1946 and struck from the Navy list on 13 November that same year.

On 30 June 1948, the ship was sold to the Humble Oil & Refining Co. in Houston, Texas, for operation.
