USS St. Clair County (LST-1096) was a tank landing ship of the LST-542 class commissioned by the United States Navy in April 1945. Designed for amphibious operations, she served during the closing months of World War II, transporting troops, vehicles, and supplies across the Pacific theater. After the war, she supported occupation duties in the Far East before being decommissioned in July 1946. Reactivated for service during the Cold War, USS St. Clair County continued her service with the U.S. Navy and later with the Military Sea Transportation Service until her final decommissioning and eventual transfer to the Republic of Singapore Navy in 1971.
