Jul 08, 2009 LST 325 RECEIVES NATIONAL DESIGNATION Published by Chicago Tribune Associated Press July 7, 2009 EVANSVILLE, Ind. - A World War II troop landing ship that is now a floating military museum on the Ohio River has been added to the National Register of Historic Places. The National Park Service granted the designation to the LST-325, which it says is one of the few surviving American vessels to go ashore on D-Day in 1944. The ship has been permanently moored at Evansville since 2005. Ship commander Robert Jornlin tells the Evansville Courier & Press that while several American battleships are on the National Register, the LST-325 is unique because it is still a working ship. The LST-325 will be included in the Military Vehicle Preservation Association's convention in Evansville next month, after which it will travel to Jeffersonville for an American Legion convention. ------ Information from: Evansville Courier & Press, http://www.courierpress.com
