Thanks for this. I caught the tail end of this on the radio this morning and had zero idea what they were talking about.

Cool!

Thanks for the heads up!     Going to try and make a visit.

I might have to drag the family down there this weekend. We have taken our son onboard the USS Midway Museum in San Diego several time. I retired from the Navy in 05, still don't miss is though.  It would be interesting to see and tour this piece of history.

I’ve visited the USS Midway as well, but I need to get the kids out there too. Very interesting

I think this is the same LST that was in Nashville a few years ago. My wife and I toured it, then the next day, I took my late Father-in-law on the tour. It was a great tour both times. I'd recommend it to anyone.

I'd love to check it out. My grandfather was a radio man on LSTs and LCTs in the Pacific in WWII.

If you happen to miss it, it spends most of it's time in Evansville, Indiana.

We went while it was in Nashville as well. Pretty sure my Grandfather walked off that one.

Post up some pics if you go please.  It doesn't look like we're going to be able to get there, unfortunately.

I’ve got some. Unfortunately I’m stepping out for a week. I’ll dig some up and drop them when I get back.
