World War II Vet, 90, Running Across the U.S. for LST-325-- Part 2

One hundred and sixty-seven LSTs were built at Evansville, the most of any shipyard.  The LST-325, however, wasn't one of them.

Many of the LSTs were built in so-called "Cornfield Shipyards" like at Evansville, Jeffersonville and Seneca, Illinois.    These  places had never built ships of this size before and never did again.  More than 1,000 LSTs were built.  The only remaining LST in running condition is LST-325.

It also is the only ship from D-Day and Normandy still steaming under its own power.
