We have the Greeks to thank for keeping a WWII vintage LST in commission until 1999. In 2000, it was purchased by a preservation group, which brought her back to the US. LST-325 is now based in Evansville, Indiana, still in her WWII configuration, still fully operable, and makes river cruises in the fall. I haven't been to 325, but I have toured LST-393 in Muskegon, MI. 393 was used to ship new cars across Lake Michigan for years, so, unlike 325, all of 393's original armament was removed long ago.
