USS LST-325

The USS LST-325 is a preserved tank landing ship from World War II located in Evansville that visitors can tour. The vessel displays its original layout and compartments designed to carry military vehicles and troops across the ocean.

The vessel was built during World War II and played a key role in the Normandy campaign of 1944. It completed numerous missions transporting military vehicles and soldiers across the Atlantic Ocean.

The ship functions as a place where visitors connect with stories of military service and wartime operations from the 1940s. People come here to understand how ordinary sailors and soldiers experienced the war through the vessel's layout and equipment.

The ship is open for tours throughout the year, and visitors should expect uneven surfaces and narrow staircases below deck. Comfortable shoes and some time are important for exploring the different levels and cargo areas.

The ship regularly travels inland rivers during early fall months, bringing a piece of naval history to different communities. These journeys allow people in distant areas to see the vessel up close without traveling far.
