The USS Laramie River (LSM(R)-501) is a Class Landing Ship Medium (Rocket) built towards the end of WWII in 1945 and was assigned to the Asiatic-Pacific Theater. She was decommissioned in 1948 and laid up in the Atlantic Reserve Fleet, Florida Group. In 1955 she was named the USS Laramie River LSM(R)-513 and later reclassified as an Inshore Fire Support Ship (LFR-513) in 1969. She was eventually struck from the Naval Register in 1973 and sold by Defense Reutilization and Marketing Service (DRMS) to Boston Metals Company for demilitarization and resale. She was purchased by a Key West company for use as a Caribbean coastal freighter. While her official fate is unknown, many experts believe she was scuttled off the coast of Key West in 1983. She sits upright and is generally intact.
