USS Liguria

USS Liguria (AKS-15) was an Acubens-class general stores issue ship commissioned by the U.S. Navy for service in World War II.

After shakedown in Chesapeake Bay, Liguria loaded stores at the Naval Supply Depot, Bayonne, New Jersey, and sailed 7 September for the Pacific Ocean.

For the next 6 months, the ship operated independently in the Yellow Sea, transporting passengers, stores, and cargo for the occupation of South Korea and the forces afloat along the northern coast of China.

Liguria departed Shanghai 22 April 1946 (see the previous images for possible corrective information for this timeline and the omission of Guam as a port-of-call) for the U.S. West Coast arriving San Francisco, California, 21 May.

Liguria was subsequently towed to San Francisco, stripped, transferred to the Maritime Commission 25 April 1947, and placed in the National Defense Reserve Fleet.
