USS Gold Star (AK-12) was a cargo ship acquired by the U.S. Navy for service in World War II. She was responsible for delivering necessary goods and equipment to ships and stations in the war zone.
In the Philippines when World War II started
When the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, 7 December 1941, Gold Star was coaling at Malangas, Philippine Islands.[3] She sailed for Manila 8 December, but was ordered by Commander, Asiatic Fleet, to proceed to Balikpapan, Borneo.[4] She arrived 14 December as the Japanese advanced quickly southward; and after issuing urgently needed provisions to units of the Asiatic Fleet there, steamed by way of Macassar, Celebes, to Darwin, Australia.[5] Following her arrival at Darwin 28 December, Gold Star served as a coastal cargo carrier, steaming between such Australian ports as Brisbane, Sydney, and Fremantle. She thus contributed importantly to strengthening Australia and to checking the Japanese advance in New Guinea. After 15 August 1943 the veteran ship continued her coastal operations in Australia, but also began a series of cargo voyages to New Guinea and the Admiralty Islands. Gold Star brought many loads of vital supplies to Milne Bay as the Allies began the push toward the Philippines.

USS Mifflin (APA-207) was a Haskell-class attack transport of the US Navy. She was named after Mifflin County, Pennsylvania.
Construction
Mifflin (APA-207) was laid down 15 May 1944 by Permanente Metals Corp. Shipyard No. 2, Richmond, California; launched 7 August 1944; sponsored by Mrs. Alma De Brettville Sprecies; accepted by the Navy on a loan basis; and commissioned 11 October 1944, Comdr. L. J. Modave in command.
World War II
After shakedown, Mifflin embarked 1,100 troops and sailed to Pearl Harbor. Exchanging her initial passengers for 4th Division Marines, she continued amphibious exercises off Maui, until ordered to Saipan 27 January 1945. On 19 February, her boats landed 4th Marines on the shore of Iwo Jima. She remained almost a week to offload priority, then request cargo, and to take on board battle casualties. This included her own, for the ship's beach party was hard hit the first day suffering 14 wounded and three missing.
Mifflin also sustained a shell hit on her 40mm gun director before retiring with the wounded to Saipan on the 28th.
Having replaced lost equipment and boats, she sailed 16 March to nearby Tinian to practice for the invasion of Okinawa. In position for this last great assault, on 1 and 2 April her boats feinted a landing of 2d Division Marines on the southeastern shore to lessen opposition to the main effort on the western beaches. Again returning her Marines to Saipan, she remained until early June. Steaming to the New Hebrides, Mifflin loaded stores which she discharged 30 June at Guam. Independence Day, she weighed anchor for San Francisco with a small passenger list and a need for repairs.
Two months later, when she returned to the western Pacific to disembark 1,600 Army replacement troops at Manila, Philippines, the war had ceased. Mifflin reloaded with men of the 33d Infantry Division assigned to occupation duty and arrived Wakayama, Japan, 25 September. The next month, over 1,000 troops of the 24th Infantry Division were transported from Mindanao, Philippines, to Okajama, Japan. Sailing to Okinawa 30 October, she engaged in "Magic Carpet" duty from November to March 1946, returning additional thousands of veterans to San Francisco. Inactivation soon began with Mifflin placed out of service in reserve 5 July 1946, assigned to the 19th Fleet, Stockton, California. Struck from the Naval Register 1 October 1958, she was returned to the Maritime Commission the same date. Assigned to the National Defense Reserve Fleet, she was berthed as Suisun Bay, California, into 1969.
