LST-64 was laid down on 13 August 1942 at Jeffersonville, Ind., by the Jeffersonville Boat & Machine Co.; launched on 8 January 1943; sponsored by Mrs. Frank H. Buening; and commissioned in the Royal Navy on 2 April 1943. The tank landing ship never saw active service with the United States Navy. She was returned by the United Kingdom, seriously damaged and beyond economical repair, in November 1945, and was struck from the Navy list on 5 December 1945. On 3 July 1946, she was sold to Kinaldo de Haag and subsequently scrapped.
