The '''Australian landing ship medium ''Vernon Sturdee'' (AV 1355)''' was a [[United States Navy]] [[landing ship medium]] which was later sold to [[Australia]] and operated by the [[Australian Army]].

The ship was built by the [[Pullman-Standard Car Manufacturing Company]] in [[Chicago]], [[Illinois]] and was commissioned into the United States Navy (USN) as USS ''LSM-315'' on 13 July 1944. She was assigned to the [[Asiatic-Pacific Theater|Pacific Theater of Operations]] and saw action during the [[Philippines Campaign (1944–45)|liberation of the Philippines]] during 1944 and 1945. Following the war she was decommissioned on 14 June 1946 and laid up in the Pacific Reserve Fleet.

The ship was purchased by the Australian Army and was named ''Vernon Sturdee'' (AV 1355) in honour of the Australian [[World War II]] general [[Vernon Sturdee]]. The ship was one of four LSMs operated by the newly formed [[32nd Small Ship Squadron]], [[Royal Australian Engineers]] and was refitted in Japan before she arrived in Australia. From 1960 to 1970 she performed routine duties in support of the Australian Army, and carried equipment between ports in [[Australia]], [[New Guinea]], [[Malaysia]] and [[New Zealand]].

The ship was deployed to [[Vung Tau]] in [[South Vietnam]] during the [[Vietnam War]], where she operated in South Vietnamese waters. ''Vernon Sturdee'' was decommissioned on 30 September 1971 when the 32nd Small Ship Squadron was disbanded.
