LSTs and The Return of LST 325

History of these strange ships  (1944)

The Return of USS LST 325    "A short documentary about the LTS class of ships in WW2 and the ship LST-325 in particular, following the history of the war ships from the war and after."



"PREAMBLE: During World War II there were 1051 LST's (Landing Ship Tank) built to carry troops & supplies to American & Allied troops fighting in Europe and the Pacific theaters. When WW II ended most of the LST's were scrapped, modified, or given to Navies of other countries. Some remained in service and saw action in Korea, Viet Nam, and even the Cuban Blockade.
Now one proud 58 year old LST -- returns home to America from service with the Greek Navy - crewed by heroes with an average age of 72 years old. These men are giants! One giant has now fallen -- read below. (Capt. McD)
