During the Korean War, she participated in the invasion of Inchon from 13 to 17 September 1950.

On 1 July 1955, she was given the name USS Stark County.

She was decommissioned on 16 May 1966 and transferred to the Royal Thai Navy.

LST-1134 earned three battle stars for Cold War service.

She was renamed HTMS Pangan (LST-13) once acquired by the navy. She was homeported in Phra Samut Chedi alongside HTMS Lanta and HTMS Chang.
