USS LST-325by =TheMan268

Photography / Photojournalism / Military

USS LST-325 is a decommissioned tank landing ship of the United States Navy, now docked in Evansville, Indiana U.S.A. Like many of her class, she was not named and is properly referred to by her hull designation (LSTs in service after July 1955 were named after U.S. counties and parishes). The LST (Landing Ship, Tank) is an amphibious vessel designed to land battle-ready tanks, troops and supplies directly onto enemy shores. Ships of this type proved to be enormously useful during times of war and peace both. In these photos she is docked at Riverfront Park on the Cumberland River in Nashville Tennessee U.S.A. She is on a tour which will take her to Clarksville Tennessee U.S.A. after she leaves Nashville.
