The lead ship and only member of her class, she was the first ship named after the city of Wichita, Kansas. Wichita served in combat throughout World War II: first to protect convoys on the Murmansk Run and amphibious landings during Operation Torch in the European Theater in 1942, then throughout the Pacific Theater in 1943-45. Wichita served as part of the occupation force in Japan after the war, then in the "mothball fleet," before being scrapped in 1959.
