LST-403 was laid down on 23 August 1942, under Maritime Commission (MARCOM) contract, MC hull 923, by the Bethlehem-Fairfield Shipyard, Baltimore, Maryland; launched 24 October 1942; then transferred to the United Kingdom and commissioned on 8 December 1942.

Service history
LST-403 saw no active service in the United States Navy. The tank landing ship was decommissioned and returned to United States Navy custody on 11 April 1946, and struck from the Navy list on 5 June 1946. On 5 December 1947, the ship was sold to Bosey, Philippines, for scrapping.
