''Arenac'' was of the VC2-S-AP5 [[Victory ship]] design type and was named for [[Arenac County, Michigan]]. She was laid down under a [[United States Maritime Commission]] contract (MCV hull 44) on 9 July 1944 at [[Wilmington, Los Angeles]], by the [[California Shipbuilding Corporation]]; launched on 14 September 1944; sponsored by Mrs. L.D.

	After shakedown and amphibious training exercises off San Diego, California, ''Arenac'' took on a load of cargo and departed for Hawaii. On 3 February 1945, ''Arenac'' was designated the flagship for Combat Transport Division (COMTRANSDIV) 68, under the command of [[Commodore (USN)\|Commodore]] Chauncey Crutcher. She arrived at [[Pearl Harbor]] on 17 March 1945 and during the next two months operated out of Pearl Harbor carrying personnel and cargo to [[Eniwetok]] and [[Guam]].

	Following discharge of her cargo, ''Arenac'' got underway on 8 July to return to the [[West Coast of the United States\|West Coast]] of the United States. Port calls at Saipan and Guam preceded the transport's arrival at San Francisco, California, on 28 July. Three days later, the vessel entered a shipyard at [[Richmond, California]] for an intermediate maintenance availability. She resumed operations on 11 August and made a course for Pearl Harbor. While the ship was en route, she received word of [[Surrender of Japan\|Japan's capitulation]] ending World War II. ''Arenac'' arrived in Hawaiian waters on the 17th and took on personnel for passage to the western Pacific. She set sail for Eniwetok on the 20th and after a brief pause at that atoll, stood out to sea to rendezvous with a convoy bound for Ulithi.

	''Arenac'' reached Ulithi on 31 August. She got underway for the [[Philippines]] four days later and arrived at [[Manila]] on 9 September. She debarked her passengers there before moving on to [[San Fabian, Pangasinan\|San Fabian]], [[Luzon]], on the 18th to take on cargo and embarked troops (3/161 Infantry Regiment, 25th Infantry Division) for transportation to Japan. The ship set sail on 1 October and arrived at [[Wakayama, Wakayama\|Wakayama, Japan]] on 7 October. However, before her passengers went ashore, she was ordered out of the area because of an approaching typhoon. The ship finally put into port at [[Nagoya]], Japan, on 28 October and proceeded to debark her troops for occupation duty. On that same day, the transport was assigned to Service Force, Pacific Fleet for [[~~Operation Magic Carpet (World War II)\|~~Operation Magic Carpet]], transporting "high-point" military personnel from Japan and the Philippines to the West Coast of the United States for discharge.

	After off-loading passengers and equipment at Nagoya, ''Arenac'' set a course for the Philippines on 30 October 1945, and arrived at [[Guiuan]], [[Samar]] on 4 November. "High-point" Navy and Army personnel were loaded for transport to San Francisco for discharge, but while en route, ''Arenac'' was diverted to [[Seattle]], Washington instead, and arrived there on 25 November 1945.

	After necessary voyage repairs and a period of liberty for the crew, ''Arenac'' resumed operations. On 8 December 1945, she got underway for Nagoya, Japan but was diverted en route to the Naval Base at [[Sasebo, Nagasaki\|Sasebo]] on the island of [[Kyūshū\|Kyushu, Japan]], arriving on 31 December 1945. The ship debarked the Navy replacement passengers, then four days later departed for Nagoya, arriving on 6 January 1946, embarking veterans for return to stateside and discharge. Arenac made three round-trip Pacific crossings in this service. The Operation Magic Carpet assignment was completed in March 1946, and the ship was ordered to the [[East Coast of the United States]] for deactivation.

	On 12 May, ''Arenac'' arrived at [[Ulithi]], [[Caroline Islands]], and there embarked troops and took on supplies for support of the [[Battle of Okinawa\|invasion of Okinawa]]. She got underway for that island on 23 May and anchored in waters off [[Okinawa]] on the 27th. While awaiting clearance to proceed to the beaches to unload her cargo ''Arenac'' underwent frequent alerts for enemy air attack. She moored off [[Hagushi]] Beach on 3 June, finished unloading her cargo and passengers by the 5th, and then began taking on personnel for evacuation from Okinawa.
