Greetings from the Ohio Porters. 🇺🇸 I have a great friend who was on the LSD , Wyatt McFarland. He has such great memories and thoughts of his time out on the ocean. These ships, like many others, I guess were scuttled. I don’t get that, but it is what it is! 🧐 This was quite informative and exciting! 😎🤩
Wow! You all kept Mandan together very well. Hell the Anchorage was commissioned in 1969 or so and got decommissioned 30(2003) something years later. Mandan lasted what? 55 years?
Right as I saw the title I immediately thought of the British LSD trials in which they gave a couple of their marines acid. The purpose of the experiment was to find a non-lethal method of incapacitating enemy forces-- and the results were quite amusing to watch.
This is the best 1960s film on LSD yet!
Thank you for sharing this. I love learning about all of the different types of landing ships of WW2!
Thank you for posting this. I never would have known this existed without it. Very ingenious design, fabrication and usage.
Glad you appreciate it! Help us rescue more obscure and endangered films at Patreon.com/PeriscopeFilm
Thank you for this upload, mine was Ft Manden LSD (21) 1952
I never knew they even had something like that back in the 40s and found this video interesting
my father was on one of these during WW2, amazing ships !
I disticly remember my experience on an LSD trip being very different from what this video is showing.
Thanks - amusing to me, since my little brother was Deck Division Officer on USS Juneau (LPD-10) - while I was an HSL Aircrewman -
My father, Clarence Englehart, was on the USS Casa Grande from 1943 until the end, Okinawa.
Put Carter Hall (LSD 50) in commission. Did a lot of firefighting research onboard Shadwell
After having had no buzz from LST I now open my gates of perception to LSD.

USS ANCHORAGE LSD-36 2000-2003. We called ourselves the "Gator Navy". Nothing like a ship that can sink herself XD.
I served on the Speigel Grove LSD-32 78-79
I served on the USS Hermitage LSD-34.
Stationed aboard USS Colonial (LSD 18) 1967 - 68
Spent 2 yrs on an LSD, interesting duty duty, LSD 21 Hay Eisen, what years ??
I love LSD
Was embarked on USS Thomaston and USS Point Defiance November 1969-Mar 1970 with BLT 2/9
I'd bet their crews called them Large Sitting Duck.
Served on LSD-29 from 1966-69.
Thanks for your service to our great nation.
