What is BRP Sierra Madre: History and Role about?

The document discusses the history and transfers of ownership of USS LST-821/USS Harnett County, an LST-542-class tank landing ship built for the US Navy in WWII. It served in WWII and Vietnam before being transferred to South Vietnam as RVNS My Tho, then to the Philippines as BRP Sierra Madre. In 1999 it was deliberately grounded by the Philippines as an outpost at Second Thomas Shoal to assert sovereignty claims in the South China Sea, where it remains stationed today.
