USS La Moure County (LST-1194)

USS La Moure County (LST-1194) was a Newport-class tank landing ship commissioned by the United States Navy in 1971. Designed for rapid deployment of tanks, vehicles, and troops directly onto shore, she played a vital role in amphibious operations and training exercises throughout her service. La Moure County participated in numerous joint exercises, including NATO operations and support missions in the Caribbean and Mediterranean. After nearly three decades of service, she was decommissioned in 2000 and later transferred to the Chilean Navy.
