Fold3 has extensive records (War Diaries, operation reports) for this ship, which came from the NARA.

Dear Lee Isdell,

Thank you for posting your request on History Hub!

We searched the Records of the Bureau of Naval Personnel (Record Group 24) and located deck logs of the USS Dorothea L. Dix (AP-67) from 17 September 1942 to 24 April 1946. We also located muster rolls of the Dorothea L. Dix for the same time period. For access to or copies of these records, please contact the National Archives at College Park - Textual Reference (RDT2) via email at archives2reference@nara.gov.

We also searched the National Archives Catalog and located WWII War Diaries of the Dorothea L. Dix that have been digitized.

We hope this information is helpful. Best of luck with your research!

Not sure how far back these go but I use them a lot when helping veterans apply for VA benefits.
