USS LCI(L)-196 (1943-1947), later LCI(G)-196
USS LCI(L)-196, a 246-ton landing craft, infantry, was built by the Federal Shipbuilding and Drydock Company and commissioned in February 1943. She served in the Mediterranean Sea during 1943-44, participating in the invasions of Sicily, Salerno, Anzio, Elba and Southern France. Modified for gunfire support of amphibious operations and renamed LCI(G)-196 in July 1945, she took part in occupation service in the western Pacific and China areas during the last months of 1945. Decommissioned after that duty, LCI(G)-196 was transferred to the Maritime Commission for disposal in November 1947.
