Dad was on LST 1126 in 1960s but I was a bit too young to have memory of it: only know from photographs that it was same or very similar style as this one. Dad got more interested in trains after learning the EMD 567 diesels the Snohomish County had were same type as in EMD locomotives. He also tells about being at sea empty, standing in the well deck, and watching the hull flex with the swells.
My Grandfather was on LST 293 in WWII. Cool that they keep this ol boat floating!
What a treat?! Fantastic view point.
Many thanks.
How awesome was that ...dang I missed it ..thanks for making a clip for us that didn't get to see !!!
In the early 1960s I rode one of these as a ferry in Hiroshima Bay between Kure and the island of Eta Jima.
I am a WW2 history fanatic & that was beyond cool.

I’ve Been on that exact ship when it was docked in Cincinnati Ohio it’s powered by a EMD 567
My late Uncle drove a LST at Normandy.
I toured this ship as well. Not sure what that awful wracked was at the start of the video though.
Wow
LST : Landing Ship Transport/ Long Slow Target
Needs no music, but you supplied an irrelevant tune anyway. Thumbs Down.
Music ruined this video,jeez.
This is so confusing to me
