1945: Converted to a fast transport. Armament reduced to 1 4"/45 DP gun, 3x1 2pdr guns, and 1x2 and 3x1 20mm guns.

The Stuart was a Scott-class destroyer completed in 1918 in a British yard and transferred to Australia. She was elderly and, although designed for 36.5 knots, could probably not make more than 30. Unfit for anything but convoy escort duty, she nonetheless had a distinguished career in the Mediterranean early in the European war, participating in the Battle of Calabria and the Battle of Malapan, the evacuation of Crete, and the supply convoys to Tobruk. She was gradually stripped of her main gun armament and torpedoes in favor of antiaircraft and antisubmarine gear.

She was undergoing refit in Australia when war broke out in the Pacific. This was completed by late 1942 and she served with U.S. 7 Fleet in New Guinea for the remainder of the war.
