USS LSM(R)-519

USS LSM(R)-519 was a LSM(R)-501-class Landing Ship Medium (Rocket) built for the United States Navy during World War II. She was designed to provide close fire support during amphibious landings.

LSM(R)s were modified LSMs (Landing Ship Medium) equipped with rocket launchers. The LSM(R)-519, specifically, would have been fitted with 5-inch rockets intended to saturate enemy beach defenses prior to the arrival of landing craft carrying troops. These rockets were mounted in multiple launchers on the ship's deck.

The ship likely participated in operations in the Pacific Theater, supporting island-hopping campaigns. Her specific wartime service record would need to be verified through official Navy records or historical accounts. After the war, like many similar vessels, she would have likely been decommissioned and either sold for scrap, transferred to another navy, or used for other purposes. Detailed information about her postwar fate requires further research.
