Been searching around MLU forums and the web but haven't turned one up yet.
Mark, there is an LST and an LCVP (Higgins boat) in Evansville, Indiana, both of which are still sea-worthy and are used in D Day reenactments the first weekend of June. The LST was a veteran of Sicily and Normandy and was sold to Greece after the war. An all-veteran crew sailed it back from Greece to Mobile, Alabama, thence up the Mississippi to Evansville. Not an LCA, but interesting none-the-less.
