I .OUR SHIP The USS WASHBURN was launched at Wilmington North Carolina on 22 January 1944 and was commissioned shortly after at the Todd Shipyards in Hoboken, New Jersey. The ship was named after a county in the state of Wisconsin and at that time was the Navy's most modern conception of the Attack Cargo Ship. K Since 1945 the WASHBURN has served primarily in the waters of the Pacific. She has participated in numerous amphibious operations and has been awarded both the Navy Occupation Service Medal and the China Service Medal. During the Korean War, the WASHBURN received the Korean Service Medal and four combat stars for her part in the landings at KangNung, Korea. Having partici- pated in several Point Barrow Re-Supply Expeditions in Alaska, the WASHBURN set new Navy Ship-to-Shore off-loading records every time. In 1954 and 1955 she was called upon to assist in the Tachens Evacuation and in 1956 she was involved in the Pribiloff lslaud Re-Supply Expedition. The only time the WASHBURN has operated outside the Pacific was when she joined the Amphibious Forces Atlantic in the Caribbean. Otherwise, the WASHBURN has deployed regularly to the Western Pacific to serve with the Seventh Fleet and has visited ports in Hawaii, Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, Formosa, Philippines, Guam, Okinawa, Iwo Jima, Australia and Samoan Islands. The primary function of our ship is to transport the necessary materials required in combat to the objective area. To complete the final stages of her mission, many boats are needed to move these materials to the beaches. Therefore, the boats and the men that operate them, compose the WASHBURN's main armament. ,.., . f . , ,'
