| Description | The U.S. Navy Landing Ship Medium (Rocket) USS St. Francis River (LSMR-525) underway, circa 1965. The ship had been decommissioned on 21 November 1955, and entered the Pacific Reserve Fleet. St. Francis River was recommissioned on 18 September 1965 at San Francisco. On 8 February 1966 she departed San Diego, California (USA), and sailed for her new homeport of Yokosuka, Japan. From Japan, she steamed south and arrived at Da Nang, South Vietnam, on 19 April, to begin operations in support of Allied forces fighting along the coast and in the Mekong Delta area. Rearmed regularly at Cam Rahn Bay and overhauled periodically at Yokosuka, St. Francis River provided rocket fire in support of Allied forces in South Vietnam from 1966 through 1969. Reclassified as LFR-525 on 1 January 1969, St. Francis River was decommissioned and stricken from the Navy list on 17 April 1970. She was sold in November 1970 to Nissho-Iwai American Corp., Sasebo, Japan, for scrapping. |
