Description
U.S.S. Lake County Sterling Bowl Presented to Ruth Quigley, December 16, 1944 

A sterling silver bowl engraved USS LST-880 / Ruth W. Quigley / Evansville Ship Yard / December 16, 1944, with the patriotic ribbons used in the christening of the ship under glass in the base of the bowl. 5.125 in. high x 10 in. diameter.

The USS Lake County (LST-880) was an LST-542-class tank landing ship launched at Evansville, Indiana, on the engraved date, commissioned at New Orleans January 9, 1945, and immediately sent through the Panama Canal to Pearl Harbor. She transported troops and supplies among the islands of the South Pacific in the final months of World War II, stopping at Okinawa, Guam, and the Solomon Islands. After taking part in occupation operations in Japan, she spent the 1950s supporting various projects before being decommissioned in 1958 and destroyed in target practice.
