High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! USS LSM-161 was a LSM-1-class landing ship medium built for the United States Navy during World War II. Like many of her class, she was not originally named and was properly referred to by her hull designation for much of her service life. LSM-161 was laid down on 3 June 1944 by Charleston Navy Yard, Charleston, South Carolina; launched on 27 June 1944; and commissioned on 16 August 1944, Lieutenant Joseph M. Gresser in command. After serving at Little Creek, Virginia, as a training ship for more than five months, LSM-161 departed Newport, Rhode Island, on 23 February 1945 for the West Coast, arriving San Diego, California on 23 March. Departing on 28 April for the Pacific Theatre, she arrived Saipan on 6 June; then commenced supply operations in the Far East. For the remaining months of World War II, LSM-161 shuttled troops and cargo among the Philippines, Okinawa, and the Marianas. Following the Allied victory in the Pacific, the medium landing ship supported occupation forces in the Western Pacific until she sailed for the United States on 12 December.
