USS Sandoval (APA-194)

USS Sandoval (APA-194) was a Haskell-class attack transport commissioned by the United States Navy in 1944. She played a vital role during World War II, participating in the Okinawa campaign by landing troops and equipment under heavy enemy fire in April 1945. After the war, Sandoval assisted with occupation duties in the Far East and took part in Operation Magic Carpet, bringing American servicemen home. Decommissioned in 1946, she was later placed in reserve and eventually scrapped in the 1970s.
