Logan (APA-196) served as an attack transport of the Haskell class. Kaiser built her at Vancouver. She was launched on 19 September 1944, and the Navy commissioned her on 14 October 1944.
On 19 February 1945 she worked in until about 1,000 yards lay between her and the Iwo Jima shore. Every boat was in the water in less than half an hour. Beachmasters, engineers, and quartermasters went in with those boats.
The same day Headquarters Company, 133rd Naval Construction Battalion, went onto Yellow Beach for shore-party work, in company with the 23rd Marines, 4th Marine Division. Over the nine days that followed, Logan took wounded aboard and sent combat gear ashore.
At 0445 on 21 February she struck Napa (APA-157) along the run of frames 98 through 102. A breach about fifteen feet long opened in Napa (APA-157) and kept going for ten feet beyond the bilge turn. Logan's harm was small. She remained off Iwo through 28 February.
She finished the war afloat. Two battle stars mark that record.
