USS Orange County (LST–1068) was an LST-542-class tank landing ship built for the United States Navy during World War II.
Unlike many of her class, which received only numbers and were disposed of after World War II, she survived long enough to be named.
[3] After shakedown in Chesapeake Bay, LST-1068 loaded pontoon causeways and LCT sections at Davisville, Rhode Island, and embarked men at New York prior to getting underway, on 11 May, for the Pacific via the Panama Canal.
Arriving in Manila Bay on 26 October, LST-1068 remained for five days and then moved to Batangas and loaded occupation troops to return to Tokyo.
On 28 November, at Saipan, LST-1068 exchanged low-point crew members for high-point personnel of other LSTs and on 14 December, she sailed for Pearl Harbor.
Her actual departure was delayed, however, while she underwent repairs for a hole torn in her bottom by striking a submerged LCI.
She participated in operations at Sokchori, Koje-do, and Wonsan, with brief but frequent trips to Pusan, Cho-do, and Yokosuka, Japan.
