USS Whitfield County (LST-1169) was a Terrebonne Parish-class tank landing ship commissioned by the United States Navy in 1954. The vessel was primarily tasked with transporting tanks, vehicles, cargo, and troops to support amphibious operations, serving extensively in the Pacific. During the Vietnam War, Whitfield County played a significant role in logistical support, delivering supplies and providing direct assistance during riverine and coastal operations. She was decommissioned in 1971 and later transferred to the Greek Navy, where she served as Kos (L-116) before being retired.
