LST 325 Homefront Museum
An LST (Landing Ship, Tank) is an amphibious vessel designed to land battle-ready tanks, troops, and supplies directly onto enemy shores. The LST 325, the last navigable LST in operation today, saw service in the invasion of Sicily, a later landing at Salerno, and the Normandy invasion in June 1944. Today, tours of the LST 325 are moving experiences, as veterans, their families, and other visitors hear and share stories of courage and camaraderie, hardship and valor.
