Known to its crews as the Large Slow Target, the LSTs were 328 feet long and sailed at only 9 knots! LSTs were built by shipyards across the US, including many that were sailed down the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers to the sea! The defensive armament of LSTs varied but was usually a mix of 40mm and 20mm AA guns sometimes with a 3 gun at the stern. The LST was designed to run up onto the beach and then pull itself off by winching in an anchor dropped off the stern. It could hold tanks and trucks both inside and up on deck. There was also a cargo hatch in the deck forward of the aft superstructure for additional access below. LSTs were equipped with two or more LCVPs hung from davits on deck to aid in landing troops. They were designed to carry a 114 LCT on deck, which was slipped off by tipping the LST to one side! Today the USS LST Memorial, located in Mobile, Alabama, has a fully restored LST and museum. Model Length 16, Width 2, Height 6 on the stand to the top of the mast. Features updated set of decals with FIVE different versions including LST 325 which actually landed at Omaha Beach on D Day and is now berthed at Evansville, IN as a memorial museum.Less
