LST-424 was laid down on 17 November 1942, under Maritime Commission (MARCOM) contract, MC hull 944, by the Bethlehem-Fairfield Shipyard, Baltimore, Maryland; launched 12 December 1942; then transferred to the United Kingdom and commissioned on 1 February 1943.

Service history
LST-424 saw no active service in the United States Navy. She was decommissioned and returned to United States Navy custody on 7 January 1946, and struck from the Naval Vessel Register on 21 May 1946. On 3 July 1946, she was sold to Rinaldo De Haag, Italy, and subsequently scrapped.
