USS Geneva, a 4,247-ton Gilliam-class attack transport, was built at Wilmington, California, and was commissioned in March 1945. After shakedown training on the West Coast, Geneva departed San Diego in May 1945 with personnel for Pearl Harbor and the Marshalls. Returning to San Francisco in June with veterans, she then embarked nearly a thousand soldiers for the garrison forces at Okinawa, where she arrived in August.

After the Japanese surrender, Geneva transported Army troops from Okinawa to Korea in early September 1945, conducted several transport voyages along the China coast, and then returned to San Francisco in December with over a thousand homeward-bound veterans. After a round trip voyage between California and Pearl Harbor, she returned to Pearl in March 1946 to prepare for use as a target ship in the Bikini atomic bomb tests. Neither damaged nor contaminated in the tests, she arrived back at San Francisco in November. Proceeding to Norfolk, Virginia, she was decommissioned there in January 1947, stricken from the Navy List in February 1947, and transferred to the Maritime Commission in April 1948 for layup in its reserve fleet. She was sold for scrapping in October 1966.
