LST 325 WWII Ship in Residence

The LST 325 makes an annual trip to a variety of port cities on the US river system. Fondly called “Cruise” in the crew, the entire trip can take anywhere from 3 1/2 to 4 weeks underway.

The Landing Ship Tank, or “Large Slow Target” as the LST was called by her crew, revolutionized amphibious warfare, enabling large-scale landings of troops and equipment on hostile shores. Its design and capabilities influenced the development of subsequent amphibious landing ships.
