USS LST-906 was an {{sclass-|LST-542|tank landing ship}} in the United States Navy. Like many of her class, she was not named and is properly referred to by her hull designation.

Construction

LST-906 was laid down on 24 January 1944, at Hingham, Massachusetts, by the Bethlehem-Hingham Shipyard; launched on 11 March 1944; sponsored by Mrs. Henry Levine; and commissioned on 27 April 1944,{{sfn|DANFS}} with Ensign R. J. Driken, USN, in command.{{sfn|Navsource|2016}}

Service history

During World War II, LST-906 was assigned to the European Theatre.{{sfn|DANFS}}

While in the Mediterranean, Seabees converted LST-906 into a makeshift aircraft carrier sporting a custom-built mesh airstrip above deck. She was the base for six USAAF L-4B "Grasshoppers" flown as artillery spotters for the US 3rd Infantry Division during the invasion of southern France in September 1944.{{sfn|Navsource|2016}} LST-906 was one of six LSTs to be converted. The others being {{USS|LST-16||2}}, {{USS|LST-158||2}}, {{USS|LST-337||2}}, {{USS|LST-386||2}}, and {{USS|LST-525||2}}.{{sfn|Rottman|Bryan|2005|p=47}}

While at anchor at Leghorn, Italy, heavy seas on 18 October 1944 caused LST-906 to drag anchor and run aground. On 6 December a storm caused further damage to the still-grounded ship.{{sfn|Cressman|2000}}

The ship was decommissioned on 20 May 1945, struck from the Navy list on 22 June 1945, and sold for scrap soon thereafter.{{sfn|DANFS}}

Awards

LST-906 earned one battle star for World War II service.{{sfn|DANFS}}
