The story
USS LST-325 is a decommissioned tank landing ship of the United States Navy, now docked in Evansville, Indiana, US. Like many of her class, she was not named and is properly referred to by her hull designation (LSTs in service after July 1955 were named after U.S. counties and parishes). The ship was listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places in 2009 and the listing was announced as the featured listing in the National Park Service's weekly list of 2 July 2009.
