USS PAUL REVERE LPA-248

USS PAUL REVERE (LPA-248) was a Paul Revere-class attack transport commissioned by the United States Navy in 1958. Originally built as a civilian ship, she was converted to serve as an amphibious assault vessel, tasked with transporting troops, equipment, and landing craft for amphibious operations. Throughout her service, PAUL REVERE played a significant role in the Pacific, particularly during the Vietnam War, where she participated in multiple troop landings and support operations. After years of active duty, she was decommissioned in 1980 and subsequently struck from the Naval Vessel Register.
