The second USS Weiss (APD/LPR-135) was a Crosley-class high speed transport, the second ship of the United States Navy to be assigned the name Weiss, after Marine sergeant Carl W. Weiss (1915–1942), who was posthumously awarded the Navy Cross for his actions during the Battle of Guadalcanal. Originally designated DE-719, a Rudderow-class destroyer escort, Weiss was re-designated as APD-135, a fast transport, on 17 July 1944, even before being laid down on 4 October 1944 at the Defoe Shipbuilding Company, in Bay City, Michigan. She was launched on 17 February 1945; sponsored by Mrs. Anna Weiss. Builders trials before her pre-commissioning cruise were done in Lake Huron.
