}} | USS LST-350 was one of 390 tank landing ships (LSTs) built for the United States Navy during World War II. LST-350 was laid down on 10 November 1942 at the Norfolk Navy Yard; launched on 7 February 1943; sponsored by Mrs. C. M. Terry; and commissioned on 13 February 1943. Service historyDuring World War II, LST-350 was assigned to the European theater and participated in the Sicilian occupation (July 1943), Salerno landings (September 1943), and Invasion of Normandy (June 1944). LST-350 was redesignated landing craft repair ship USS Chandra (ARL-46) on 25 May 1945, but the redesignation was subsequently cancelled. The ship was decommissioned on 26 May 1945 and struck from the Naval Vessel Register on 12 March 1946. On 2 December 1946 she was sold to the Suwannee Steam Ship Company of Charleston, South Carolina and converted for merchant service. LST-350 earned three battle stars for World War II service.
