USS Washtenaw County (LST-1166) was a Terrebonne Parish-class tank landing ship commissioned by the United States Navy in 1953. Initially serving in the Atlantic Fleet, she was later transferred to the Pacific, where she played a prominent role in amphibious operations during the Vietnam War, including riverine and coastal logistics support. The ship earned multiple battle stars for her service in Vietnam, notably participating in operations such as Market Time and supporting the Mobile Riverine Force. Decommissioned in 1973, USS Washtenaw County was eventually struck from the Naval Vessel Register and later repurposed for civilian use.
