In September 1946, the 11,500-ton evacuation transport USS Pinkney (APH-2) was transferred to the U.S. Army Transportation Service for conversion to a transport. When this work was completed in 1947, she was placed in service under the name Private Elden H. Johnson. In March 1950, when the Army Transportation Service was taken over by the Military Sea Transportation Service, she returned to Navy custody and thereafter operated as USNS Private Elden H. Johnson (T-AP-184).
This page features our only views of USAT Private Elden H. Johnson.
