USS Ouachita County (LST-1071) was an LST-542-class tank landing ship built for the United States Navy during World War II.

There, at that Marianas island when World War II ended, she took on 139th Construction Battalion personnel and sailed for Saipan and Okinawa.

On 14 September she steamed into Tokyo Bay, from the Ryūkyūs, with Fifth Air Force units en route to occupation duty on Honshū.

She completed another Okinawa/Japan run for the Air Force, then steamed to Leyte, whence she carried IX Corps units to Aomori, Japan.

For the next four years, she conducted amphibious exercises along the mid-Atlantic coast and at Puerto Rico, and carried Army personnel and supplies to Labrador and Newfoundland.

Named USS Ouachita County (LST-1071) on 1 July 1955, she returned from her last voyage in Canadian waters in September and, in November, steamed to Brooklyn for inactivation overhaul.
