Like most ships in her class, she was not named and was known only by her designation. She was manned by a U.S. Coast Guard crew throughout her service career. LST-16 was laid down on 1 September 1942 at Wilmington, Delaware, by the Dravo Corp.; launched on 19 December 1942; sponsored by Mrs. Lois M. Alexander; and commissioned on 17 March 1943 with Lt. Rufus W. L. Horton, USCGR in command. Assigned to Flotilla 18, Group 53, Division 105, for Operation Husky, the invasion of Sicily, the Coast Guard-manned LST-16 departed Tunis on 8 July 1943, and arrived at Transport Area 1, Woods Hole Beach on 10 July 1943, carrying LCT-336.
