High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! USS Krishna (ARL-38) was one of 39 Achelous-class landing craft repair ships built for the United States Navy during World War II. Named for Krishna (a deity worshipped across many traditions of Hinduism), she was the only U.S. Naval vessel to bear the name, and only one of two ships (along with the USS Indra) to be named after a Hindu deity. Originally classified LST-1149, Krishna was reclassified ARL-38 on 14 August 1944; laid down 23 February 1945 by Chicago Bridge & Iron Company of Seneca, Illinois; launched 25 May 1945; sponsored by Mrs. Eva Best Smith; placed in reduced commission during transfer to Mobile, Alabama for conversion; and commissioned 3 December 1945 at Mobile, with LT Lyle E. Brown in command.
