USS LST-120, a 2366-ton LST-1 class tank landing ship built at Jeffersonville, Indiana, was commissioned in September 1943. During the remainder of World War II she was in the Pacific Fleet, participating in the Marianas campaign in June-July 1944. In January 1946, following brief occupation service in the Far East, she was decommissioned. LST-120 was sold to the Military Government of Korea in February 1947. She appears to be the ship that, operating under the name Munsan, was lost by stranding in September 1950.
