Vietnam War
Though based at Sasebo, Japan, Nye County spent much time between April 1966 and March 1967 offloading supplies at critical points along the central coast of South Vietnam. Ordered to Pusan, Korea she decommissioned 27 March 1967 and was turned over to the Military Sea Transportation Service. Manned largely by a Korean crew, she continued to sail in Far Eastern waters in 1970 as USNS Nye County (T-LST-1067). She was later sold to Chile in August 1973 where she serves as Commandante Araya (LST-89).
LST-1067 earned two battle stars for the Vietnam War.
