The Crew members of the USS Henrico APA-45 would like to welcome you to their web site.

This site contains a full history of our ship, a listing of her crew, an honor page of those that gave their lives aboard her during war time and members who have died after their time aboard. You'll find pictures of the Henrico, some of the ships company and some new amphibious landing craft with links to other ships and points of interest.

New Addition to the Photo Gallery!

Kirk and Debbie Scott have provided us with a high resolution photo of the Henrico crew from 1946.  Mr. Scott's father was Elvin Scott, Bm2c, who reported aboard the Henrico on 3/6/1946.

The photo can be zoomed in very close, and you can move around the photo and see each crew member's face, and you can even see details on the ship in the background.  If you have trouble viewing the photo, make sure you have the latest version of Adobe Flash installed...you can get it here if you need it.

Thank you for the photo, Kirk and Debbie!
