ABOUT THE LSTThis LST (Landing Ship, Tank) is an amphibious vessel designed to

land battle-ready tanks, troops and supplies directly onto enemy shores.Ships of this type proved to be enormously useful during times of warand peace both. This particular LST was originally known as LST-325during the Second World War, USNS LST-325 during its arctic opera-tions in the 1950's, and later L-144 (A/G Syros) while it was in the ser-vice of the Greek Navy. It was acquired by The USS LST Ship Memo-rial, Inc., in 2000, and caught considerable public attention when ourveteran crew brought it on a 6,500-mile journey from the Greek islandof Crete to Mobile, Alabama.
