USS BEVERLY W REED APD 119

USS Beverly W. Reid (APD-119) was a United States Navy high-speed transport commissioned late in World War II. Named after Aviation Machinist's Mate First Class Beverly William Reid, who was posthumously awarded the Navy Cross, the ship was launched in May 1944 and commissioned in February 1945. She served briefly in the Pacific theater, performing transport and training duties, but saw limited combat due to the war's end soon after her arrival. Following the war, USS Beverly W. Reid was decommissioned in 1946, later recommissioned during the Cold War, and eventually struck from the Naval Vessel Register in 1967.
