USS LCT(6)-1362, a 143-ton landing craft tank, was built at the Mare Island Navy Yard, California. Completed in October 1944, she served in the Pacific during and after World War II. In April 1949 the craft was loaned to the U.S. Army and subsequently used in Alaska. During that year she was reclassified (and thus renamed) LSU-1362. Transfered from the Army to the Military Sea Transportation Service (MSTS) in November 1950, she remained in service in Alaskan waters. While under tow in September 1951, the landing craft lost her bow ramp in heavy weather and had to be towed stern first into port, where she was repaired. Again reclassified and renamed in April 1952, she became LCU-1362. She was stricken from the List of Service Craft in April 1953 and sold in May 1954.
