"LST-898" recommissioned on 28 August 1950, loaded troops and vehicles at Kobe, Japan, for the Inchon invasion, then sailed 10 September for the west coast of Korea. The veteran landing ship participated in the well-executed invasion at Inchon on 15 September. The success of the operation prompted General Douglas MacArthur to remark that ""The Navy and Marines have never shone more brightly than this morning"." After discharging troops and cargo, she provided emergency medical care for wounded Marines, then supported assault forces by shelling enemy positions ashore. "LST-898" supported operations at Inchon until mid-October; after Chinese troops entered the conflict, she redeployed U.S. Marines in northern Korea. From October to 29 December, she evacuated Marines and Korean civilians from Hŭngnam and Wonsan to Pusan. From January to late April 1951 "LST-898" continued supply runs between Japanese and Korean ports. Departing Yokosuka on 24 April she arrived San Diego on 21 May for overhaul and training exercises. She returned Yokosuka on 3 April 1952 for her second tour in the fight against Communism in the embattled Korean peninsula. Throughout the next six months, she ferried troops and supplies between Japan and Korea, returning San Diego on 16 November.
