D-Day landing ship now calls Evansville home
EVANSVILLE, Ind. (WISH) — Eighty years ago Thursday, the decks of the LST-325 were a very different place. Built in Philadelphia two years earlier, LST-325 had already taken part in the Italy landings at Sicily and Salerno, according to the people who now maintain her.

Soldiers gathered their equipment from bunks belowdecks while tanks and trucks sat in her hold. Her destination was a crescent-shaped stretch of sand soon to be seared into American memory as Bloody Omaha.
