Callaway, APA-35, was a Bayfield-class attack transport with a Coast Guard crew. Western Pipe and Steel laid her down at San Francisco as the merchant hull Sea Mink, Maritime Commission hull 270, launched her on 10 October 1942, and first designated her a transport, AP-80, then APA-35. The Navy acquired her on 24 April 1943. DANFS says she was commissioned that day. NavSource says that was only a reduced commission for the trip to her conversion yard, that she was decommissioned on 28 May 1943, and that she was commissioned for service on 11 September 1943, Captain Donald C. McNeil, USCG, in command.
She sailed from Norfolk on 23 October 1943, trained with Marines on the west coast, and landed troops at Kwajalein on 31 January 1944. Her later landings were Emirau on 20 March, Saipan on 15 June, Angaur in the Palaus on 17 September, and Leyte on 22 October.
On 8 January 1945, off Lingayen Gulf, a kamikaze broke through the antiaircraft fire and crashed on the starboard wing of her bridge. Fires were contained and she was back on duty the next day. DANFS and Wikipedia count 29 killed and 22 wounded. NavSource says 29 were first reported killed and 22 wounded, and the final count was 31 killed and 20 wounded after two of the wounded died. Rollin A. Fritch, a Coast Guard seaman, received the Silver Star. After temporary repairs at Ulithi she carried Marine reinforcements from Guam to Iwo Jima in February and brought wounded back to Guam by 8 March.
After the surrender she landed occupation troops at Wakayama, Japan, and made two voyages carrying veterans home. She was decommissioned at New York on 10 May 1946, struck on 19 July 1946, and returned to the Maritime Commission on 12 September 1946. She returned to merchant service as President Harrison, later President Fillmore and then Hurricane, and was sold for scrap at Kaohsiung in 1974 (NavSource gives 30 March 1974). She earned six battle stars.
