LST-228
LST-228 was laid down on 20 May 1943 at Seneca, III., by the Chicago Bridge & Iron Co.; launched on 25 September 1943; sponsored by Mrs. Arthur B. Horton; and commissioned on 25 October 1943. The tank landing ship saw only brief active service with the United States Navy because, on 19 January 1944, she was grounded in the vicinity of Bahia Angra Island, Azores, and was declared beyond salvage and pronounced a total loss on 21 January 1944. LST-228 was struck from the Navy list on 12 February 1944.
