USS Vermilion (AKA-107)

USS Vermilion (AKA-107) was a Tolland-class attack cargo ship commissioned by the United States Navy in 1945. Built for service during World War II, she was too late for major combat but supported postwar occupation duties in the Pacific. During her career, Vermilion participated in various training exercises, amphibious operations, and Cold War deployments, including service during the Korean War. She was decommissioned in 1971 and subsequently struck from the Naval Vessel Register, marking the end of her service.
