The USS White River was commissioned in 1945 and served in World War II .
The vessel was converted from a landing craft to a rocket ship capable of delivering rockets on targets far from shore.
The White River could fire four different types of rockets, with the longest range stretching 5.6 miles away.
The U.S. Navy boasted the ship had the same firepower as five destroyers.
In May 1966 , the White River arrived and quickly engaged in combat, providing fire support for the South Vietnamese Army .
She spent most of the war patrolling the Vietnamese coastline but also strayed into the waters of Cambodia in the Gulf of Thailand .
The White River was decommissioned in 1970 and sold for scrap.
