The LST-271 was never given a formal name other than the USS LST-271. This wasn't uncommon with smaller vessels during WWII, such as LST's, PC's, PT's, etc.
Some ships that went unnamed that survived the war and scrapping were formally named later; however, the USS LST-271 wasn't one of them. She was decommissioned in April 1946, then scrapped 2 years later. She earned 5 Battle Stars during WWII.

'LST' is 'Landing Ship Tank'. That is they are small 'blunt' bowed, with a forward drop-down door, that a 'Tank' could be driven from. LST's would carry one or two tanks. Be beached from the sea, the forward door would drop , and the tanks would drive out, to continue the battle. Bang, BANG !!!!!!

LST-1069 was the name but im not to sure
Probably LST (landing ship tank), although it was a ship and not a craft. If that doesn't work, try LCI (landing craft infantry).
