USS Hooper Island (ARG- 17)

USS Hooper Island (ARG-17) was a Luzon-class internal combustion engine repair ship commissioned by the United States Navy in 1945. Built to provide critical maintenance and repair services to naval vessels, she served in the Pacific Theater during the final months of World War II.
