Chung Hai

USS LST-755 was a LST-542-class tank landing ship in the United States Navy during World War II. She was commissioned in 1944 and participated in the Philippines campaign before being decommissioned in 1946. That year, she was transferred to the Republic of China Navy as ROCS Chung Hai (LST-201). During the First and Second Taiwan Straight Crises, she was damaged by Communist forces twice. After being crippled at the battle Dongding Island during the Second Crisis, she was towed off for repairs and operated the rest of her career in Taiwanese service. She was decommissioned in 2010 with several groups vying to have her either scrapped, sunk, or restored. As of 2021, the ship is awaiting restoration as a museum ship in Tainan City, Taiwan.
