Ship-USS Alpine (APA-92)
USS Alpine (APA-92) was a Bayfield-class attack transport built for the US Navy which saw service in World War II. The vessel was laid down as Sea Arrow under a Maritime Commission contract on 12 April 1943 at Los Angeles, California, by the Western Pipe and Steel Company; launched on 10 July 1943 sponsored by Mrs. Helen Marsh, acquired by the Navy on 30 September 1943, renamed Alpine on 30 August 1943 and simultaneously designated APA-92; and commissioned on 30 September at San Francisco, California, Captain W. L. Taylor in command. That same day, the command of Alpine was transferred to Commander Roger E. Perry. Manned by a civilian crew, she got underway on 2 October and steamed to Portland, Oregon, where she arrived on 4 October. Four days later, she was decommissioned at the Commercial Iron Works for conversion to an attack transport. -- Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Alpine
