<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2></div>

<p>USS <i>Alpine</i> was laid down as <i>Sea Arrow</i> under a <a href="Maritime_Commission" class="mw-redirect" title="Maritime Commission">Maritime Commission</a> contract on 12 April 1943 at <a href="Los_Angeles" title="Los Angeles">Los Angeles</a>, California, by the <a href="Western_Pipe_and_Steel_Company" title="Western Pipe and Steel Company">Western Pipe and Steel Company</a>; launched on 10 July 1943 sponsored by Mrs. Helen Marsh, acquired by the Navy on 30 September 1943, renamed <i>Alpine</i> on 30 August 1943 and simultaneously designated APA-92; and commissioned on 30 September at <a href="San_Francisco%2C_California" class="mw-redirect" title="San Francisco, California">San Francisco, California</a>. That same day, the command of <i>Alpine</i> was transferred to Commander Roger E. Perry. Crewed by civilians, she got underway on 2 October and steamed to <a href="Portland%2C_Oregon" title="Portland, Oregon">Portland, Oregon</a>, where she arrived on 4 October. Four days later, she was decommissioned at the <a href="Commercial_Iron_Works" title="Commercial Iron Works">Commercial Iron Works</a> for conversion to an attack transport.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Pacific_War">Pacific War</h3></div>

<p>Upon completion of the yard work, <i>Alpine</i> was recommissioned on 22 April 1944. She took ammunition, provisions, and supplies on board and left Portland on 7 May. While en route south, the ship held training exercises, and reached <a href="San_Diego" title="San Diego">San Diego</a> on 13 May, and continued shakedown in the San Diego area through 18 June. The next day, <i>Alpine</i> left San Diego and arrived at <a href="Pearl_Harbor" title="Pearl Harbor">Pearl Harbor</a> on the 25th. Soon thereafter, she began onloading the personnel and equipment of the <a href="77th_Infantry_Division_(United_States)" class="mw-redirect" title="77th Infantry Division (United States)">77th Army Division</a>. On the 28th, <i>Alpine</i> was attached to Transport Division 38. With 1,417 troops embarked, <i>Alpine</i> sailed on 30 June to support the seizure of <a href="Guam" title="Guam">Guam</a>. Her first stop was <a href="Eniwetok" class="mw-redirect" title="Eniwetok">Eniwetok</a>, which she reached on 9 July. A week of debarkation exercises was followed by a few more days of replenishment of supplies. The ship at last set off for the <a href="Marianas" class="mw-redirect" title="Marianas">Marianas</a> on 17 July and began offloadmg her assault troops and equipment off the west coast of Guam on 21 July. For six days, the transport remained in the area providing support to her landing party on the beach. At 1544 on 27 July she began her journey back via Eniwetok to Pearl Harbor. She reached <a href="Hawaii" title="Hawaii">Hawaii</a> on 7 August and commenced voyage repairs.

</p><p><i>Alpine</i><span class="nowrap" style="padding-left:0.1em;">'</span>s next assignment was to carry troops to support the invasion and occupation of <a href="Leyte" title="Leyte">Leyte</a>. On 27 August, with 1,416 soldiers on board, the transport left Pearl Harbor for one week of amphibious training exercises off the island of <a href="Maui" title="Maui">Maui</a>. She returned briefly to Pearl Harbor but got underway again on 15 September. <i>Alpine</i> made a three-day stop at Eniwetok for supplies and then continued on to <a href="Manus_Island" title="Manus Island">Manus</a> in company with Task Group (TG) 33.1. She arrived there on 3 October and began unloading troops to several smaller landing craft. On 14 October, <i>Alpine</i> got underway with TG 79.1 to Leyte with 791 troops embarked. Early in the morning of 20 October, she arrived in <a href="Leyte_Gulf" title="Leyte Gulf">Leyte Gulf</a> and, at 0830, commenced the debarkation of her troops. Throughout the day, she unloaded supplies and received casualties. On the 21st, despite intermittent air attack warnings, she finished offloading her troops. The transport left Leyte at 2000 bound for <a href="Jayapura" title="Jayapura">Hollandia</a>, <a href="New_Guinea" title="New Guinea">New Guinea</a>.

</p><p><i>Alpine</i> stood into <a href="Yos_Sudarso_Bay" title="Yos Sudarso Bay">Humboldt Bay</a> on 26 October and transferred casualties to a hospital at Hollandia. She took on board provisions and fuel and then got underway on 5 November for <a href="Biak" title="Biak">Biak</a> in the <a href="Schouten_Islands" class="mw-redirect" title="Schouten Islands">Schouten Islands</a>. There, the transport loaded the headquarters squadron of the <a href="Fifth_Air_Force" title="Fifth Air Force">5th Army Air Force</a> and, on 14 November began the return voyage to Leyte Gulf.

</p><p>At 0728 on 18 November <i>Alpine</i> commenced debarking troops. She soon spotted an enemy aircraft, and the transport's gunners opened fire from a range of 3,000 yards. The plane banked to the right and was observed splashing off the starboard quarter. Later, a second <a href="Empire_of_Japan" title="Empire of Japan">Japanese</a> plane approached; and <i>Alpine</i> again opened fire. The plane was hit forward of the tail assembly, which exploded and left a trail of black smoke as the plane commenced a bank to the left and went into a full power dive toward <i>Alpine'</i>s bridge. At an altitude of 1,200 feet, the aircraft burst into flames but still crashed into the attack transport's port side Two explosions produced a column of flame, and debris arose. Firefighting crews brought the flames under control in one-half-hour. Five crew members were killed and 12 injured. <i>Alpine</i> finished unloading her troops and cargo, left the area at 1810 and retired to Manus.

</p><p>The transport anchored in <a href="Seeadler_Harbor" title="Seeadler Harbor">Seeadler Harbor</a> on 24 November and underwent hull repairs necessitated by her battle damage. On 1 December, she shifted to <a href="Finschhafen" title="Finschhafen">Finschhafen</a>, New Guinea, and embarked 1,512 Army troops and their equipment. <i>Alpine</i> then participated in tactical and antiaircraft gunnery exercises in <a href="Huon_Gulf" title="Huon Gulf">Huon Gulf</a>.

On 26 January, <i>Alpine</i> got underway back toward Luzon. Following two days of amphibious training exercises, the transport anchored off Luzon on 29 January and began lowering her boats at 0615. The next day, she finished this landing and retired to Leyte. <i>Alpine</i> spent the next month providing logistical support to smaller craft present in <a href="San_Pedro_Bay_(Philippines)" title="San Pedro Bay (Philippines)">San Pedro Bay</a>. She also underwent a period of tender availability.

</p><p><i>Alpine</i><span class="nowrap" style="padding-left:0.1em;">'</span>s next assignment was to support the <a href="Invasion_of_Okinawa" class="mw-redirect" title="Invasion of Okinawa">invasion of Okinawa</a> and <a href="Nansei_Shoto" class="mw-redirect" title="Nansei Shoto">Nansei Shoto</a>.

The plane itself then hit the ship, causing fires in the number 2 and 3 holds. By 2200, the transport was listing seven degrees to port. Another ship came alongside and assisted <i>Alpine'</i>s firefighting efforts, and, by 2300, the fires were under control. The crew then began their search for casualties and discovered that 16 men had been killed, and 19 were injured.
