HMS LST-419 was a United States Navy LST-1-class tank landing ship that was transferred to the Royal Navy during World War II. As with many of her class, the ship was never named. Instead, she was referred to by her hull designation.
Construction
LST-419 was laid down on 1 November 1942, under Maritime Commission (MARCOM) contract, MC hull 939, by the Bethlehem-Fairfield Shipyard, Baltimore, Maryland; launched 30 November 1942; then transferred to the United Kingdom and commissioned on 8 February 1943.[3]
Service history
LST-419 saw no active service in the United States Navy. She was decommissioned and returned to United States Navy custody on 4 May 1946, and struck from the Naval Vessel Register on 8 July 1946. On 5 December 1947, LST-419 was sold to Bosey, Philippines, and subsequently scrapped.[3]
