Oneida (APA-221) served as an attack transport of the Haskell class. Permanente Metals built her at Richmond. She was launched on 31 October 1944 and commissioned on 4 December 1944.
On 23 May 1945 she neared Okinawa and was kept outside while kamikaze raids ran on. Through her first twenty-four hours she saw 56 separate raids.
On 3 June the order came to close the island. Passengers from the 10th Army left the ship while air raids were still running.
She was in again on 24 June, carrying Army replacements and personnel of the 8th Air Force. After they had gone ashore, 1,050 Japanese prisoners came aboard. Grafton (APA-109) had prisoners of her own and sailed in company.
Oneida survived the war.
