The USS General W. H. Gordon (AP-117), a troop transport that served with the United States Navy in World War II, was launched under Maritime Commission contract by the Federal Shipbuilding and Drydock Company of Kearny, New Jersey, 7 May 1944; and commissioned on 29 June 1944, with Captain R. E. Wood, USCG, in command. After the war, the USS General W. H. Gordon (AP-117) was transferred to the US Army and served as USAT General W. H. Gordon. With the outbreak of the Korean War, it was reacquired by the Navy as a civilian-manned Military Sea Transportation Service (MSTS) vessel and redesignated USNS General W. H. Gordon (T-AP-117). It served again under the same designation in the Vietnam War.
