USS Tazwell (APA-209)

USS Tazewell (APA-209) was a Haskell-class attack transport commissioned by the United States Navy in 1944 during World War II. She played a crucial role in the Pacific Theater, notably participating in the invasion of Okinawa in April 1945, where she landed troops and supplies under combat conditions. After the war, Tazewell was involved in occupation duties in Japan and China, as well as returning American servicemen home as part of Operation Magic Carpet. The ship was decommissioned in 1946 and later scrapped in 1974.
