Writing a paper and I wanted to check whether a ship that just assigned a hull number gets a USS.

Is it USS LST-779 or just LST-779?

I've seen it written both ways and I want to double check if someone knows the procedure for identifying such a ship.

Writing a paper and I wanted to check whether a ship that just assigned a hull number gets a USS. Is it USS LST-779 or just *LST-779*?
