USS Sutter County (LST-1150) was a tank landing ship of the United States Navy, commissioned in 1945 near the end of World War II. Designed to transport tanks, vehicles, cargo, and troops directly onto shore without the need for docks, she served primarily in the Pacific theater during her early years. After World War II, the ship participated in occupation duties in the Far East and later supported operations during the Korean War. USS Sutter County was eventually decommissioned in 1969 and transferred to the Republic of the Philippines, where she continued service as RPS Aurora (LT-508).
