USS Calhoun County (LST-519) was a tank landing ship commissioned by the United States Navy during World War II. Laid down in September 1943 and launched in January 1944, she participated in pivotal operations in the European Theater, including the Normandy invasion. After the war, she was redesignated and served in various logistical and support roles, including the disposal of radioactive waste during the early Cold War. The ship was eventually decommissioned in 1963 and subsequently sunk as a target.
