I spent about 3 hours yesterday touring this ship. If you look her up at uss lst 325 you can read the history and how a group of wwII vets went to Greece and got her in condition to sail and brought her to Mobile Al. under her own power. An amazing and heart warming story. They have been on tour to several cities ( I got to see her when she was in Clarksville, Tn. a small city on the cumberland river ) trying to raise money for the upkeep and repairs. I talked to 3 different wwII vets one of which had served on this ship and was there on D- Day and was supprised to find that none had ever heard of the Navy Armed Guard . The homr port is Evansville, In. Look her up for a great story .
