USS Numitor (ARL-17) (originally designated LST-954) was one of 39 Achelous-class landing craft repair ships built for the United States Navy during World War II. Named for Numitor (in Roman mythology, King Numitor of Alba Longa, son of Procas, and the father of Rhea Silvia), she was the only U.S. Naval vessel to bear the name. Numitor was laid down on 19 September 1944 at Bethlehem Hingham Corporation of Hingham, Massachusetts and launched on 18 October 1944. After conversion by Bethlehem Key Highway Yard in Baltimore was commissioned on 3 April 1945 with Lieutenant Davis Minshew in command.
