LST 1071 LT J. E. SULLIVAN Commanding Officer fflSTORY THE LST 1071 is one of many diesel powered Landing Ship Tanks in the Amphibious Force. She was commis- sioned April 12, 1945, at Hingham, Massachusetts, and arrived in the Pacific towards the latter days of World War n, arriving too late to participate in any of the major invasions or landings in the Pacific. After a tour of duty in the Pacific, which took the 1071 as far as Japan, she was returned to the United States, decommissioned, and became one of the ships of the Mothball Fleet at Tongue Point, Oregon in 1946. Five years later she was reactivated, and was recom- missioned on 3 January 1951. After shakedown and amphibious training on the West Coast, she transversed the Panama Canal, and repwrted for duty with the At- lantic Fleet on 6 June 1951. Since her arrival in the Atlantic, the 1071 has participated in many of the am- phibious training exercises, which took her to various northern and southern ports in this hemisphere. LST 1071 is capable of carrying fully equipped tanks and their crews, general cargo, vehicles, heavy gear and pontoon causeways to the assault area. An LCU may be nested on her main deck. A ramp located in the bow is lowered to unload cargo and supplies directly to the beach or to a pontoon causeway when the beach gradient does not permit a dry landing.
