2:28 This is a command tank. Notice the "umbrella" and other antenna's.

Also a sad note, I have a picture of it. But sometime while it was at the airzoo after the repair, someone drove into it with a forklift. The damage is on the rear of the left wing.

All historian creations should be left alone as is. This way, it they will remain as original history made by original men. Why would anyone restore it as new by destroying the original creation & then paint it over with modern paint? Why not just build & duplicate the version of it without destroying history. I hate it when they do the same thing to the art painting & sculptures. We can exact duplicate anything with modern 3D Printers.

Clickbait

one also in Poland - Muzeum Pancerne Klanino

"La Combatt..." WHAT? "Lativa..."? Good grief.

My mom’s dad served on a LST in the Pacific theater. Nice Halo music

Well, well, well, at last a video that requires an Oscar, I rate this video beyond anything I have watched on UA-cam, Great information

I'm curious, how did thing actually fly? I thought the Northrup flying wing had to have stabilizers or counter-rotating props to remains stable, and that we couldn't develop our modern B2 until we had perfected "fly by wire" technology, so how was this thing stable enough to fly? Just wondering

Right at the end when you thank the volunteers of the LST-325 Museum you spelt volunteers as voulenteers 🤭 an easy thing to fix l'm sure 👍

That slipway on Neville Island where LST-1 was built still exists. Check the sat picture

Neptune spear was the mission that killed Osama Bin Laden. The invasion of Normandy was operation Neptune.

The LST was a joint British and United States project .Originally the British conceived the design. That was known as Tank Landing Craft (TCL)

Been on this boat

In 1969 my first ship was a L S T it was commissioned in 1945

Thankyou - Wow what an amazing career USS LST-325 had - both through and after the war !! Great Documentary ! I've never seen much specifically about LSTs. Don't know that the allies would have done without them. Keep the memories alive... === My Uncle Ted was an experienced diesel mechanic that joined the Navy right away in WWII. In the European invasions he was a diesel mechanic on multiple assaults, including D-day and Sicily, ...in fact he was fished out of the water three times as the LST he was in was destroyed. He went in to the war with very dark hair and came out with mostly grey, ...though still reasonably young. He continued as a mechanic, and had his own NAPA garage, and in his later years taught me so much helping me work on cars when I was a young punk. He could make ANYTHING run. He was a TOUGH guy -- but I sure miss him. It was a very amazing generation that we should never forget. RH

The youngest crewmember to sail her back from Greece was 60. I've toured her in Evansville, it's impressive and also sobering to see her battle damage.

It's called a tank landing ship you idiots

Bendita obra de ingeniería solo la gran alemania pudo lograr una nave tan sobresaliente profundos respetos y admiración a los ingenieros alemanes los mejores del mundo Alemania te llevo en ❤❤❤❤❤

Long, slow target. I am not showing disrespect. In fact, I have seen LST with flat decks. I was used to launch L-3s( spoter planes think pipercubs).

I got a shout out at the end 🫢

Are there manifests that say what the cargo was on June 6? I have an M4 HST that landed on the beach on D Day or plus 1, there’s a good possibility that 325 dropped it off along with a long Tom artillery cannon.

LST 325 is Home based out of Evansville , Indiana ; where alot of LSTs were built dury the war

My father served during WWII on an LST. He was at the landings of Sicily and on DDay. He served aboard the LST 332. He was a signalman.

In a hotel room across the street from the LST325 as I watch this. Thanks for your efforts.

Stolen by the Americans, just like Saddam's oil.

My dad seeved on USS LST 960 so I always enjoy hearing about them. Thanks for sharing.

1:00 .. Correction required. LST... Landing - Ship - Transport. ... Not "Tank." Such ships were used to transport most anything, and were designed, so to put troops, supplies, and equipment, directly onto a Beachhead... ... Including, "Tanks." From, a former 0431: Unit Embarkation. Thusly, the mistake started - and kept being repeated - in an early WWII documentary - and didn't get changed. If I remember correctly, I think it was from, "Why we Fight." I'll be looking for when it started, so to clarify. Many many have repeated this mistake. Noting - way back - that we may have planned an built a ship, for Tanks, but it would have gotten used for transporting all else, too. Semper Iratus Fidelis

My daddy served on LST 727 in the pacific during ww2. I made a video of his and LST 272 adventures ua-cam.com/video/ai_EvIdqc6g/v-deo.htmlsi=_F6oc4GAarrrvRT_

Interesting that they were built so far from the ocean. But my goodness, what was it like to cross the open seas in a flat bottom boat with such a shallow draft?

You might check your statement on how many served in WWII. I served in 1123 and she served in the Pacific theater. So I suggest that there were more LSTs in WWII than you realize

It was due to the efforts of the USLST Association and it's members that brought the LST325 home to the U.S. My step father Mike Gunjak who was a founding member of the USLST Association and other LST Veterans went to Greece to make arrangements for it's return. This took several years of work. Many members of the USLST Association were part of the crew which sailed her back to the US. Mike's wife, my mother, was the person who planed and ran the Associations annual reunions for it's members for many years.

I toured her in Dubuque, Iowa a few years ago. She has a fantastic crew that is extremely knowledgeable about everything remotely related.

there's only 3 lst ships left and us up here in Michigan have the honor to have the 393

I find it interesting that an Ensign commanded this. A lot of responsibility for an O1. I would have thought an O2 at least.

Just say “She” instead of the several thousand times you repeat “LST 325”

Great video. Now i want to visit her.

that is so cool. I'm always fascinated by logistics equipment in war - they're always ignored. There is another LST used by the Philippine Navy - they ran it aground in a shoal in the South China Sea - it's a real rust bucket but has Filipino marines living in it to deter the Chinese Navy from grabbing the shoal - it's called the BRP Sierra Madre.

I wonder what a landing ship LSD would carry, hippies 😘

I would imagine traveling any distance in an LST would be really bumpy sea sick enduring voyage for crew and soldiers on board. I wouldn't want to be crewing this across any Ocean I mean a channel hope fair enough but that's would be it for me.

Why is this video about LST325 but LST323 is pictured?

Thought Kreigsmarine attack on landing exercises were attacked by E Boats.

I boarded lst325 when it was here in Alexandria Va. Bought a shirt that no longer fits and would like to get another.

Fantastic restoration of 325 - In the 1970’s in St. Martin we explored the wreck of a small maybe 200 ft. converted LST “DIANE W” - reportedly washed ashore when a tow line broke. Had a tower bridge in the middle of the starboard side - was never able to find out what type it was or any other info.

Greek sub's please❤

That's a butt-welded ship. That's why it's still around. Got a private tour by chief engineer in 2001 , in Mobile, AL.. Cool engine room.

In Poland, in Świnoujście, a former German auxiliary submarine chaser "Kehrwieder" is for sale in the port

at 3:28, that panther changed the world forever. You see the scope on the commander's cupola? thats night vision(FG 1250 Sperber). Similar models(FG 1229 Vampir) were mounted on StG44's, which were also a revolution of their own

A very nice video, thanks. Personally, I think they retained their sleek, non worn out look.

Absolutely fascinating, life of a boat is almost inspirational. More exciting than most human lives.
