    The USS LST-325, docked in Evansville, Indiana, offers visitors a chance to explore a piece of World War II naval history. This restored landing ship tank provides an authentic look into the life and operations of sailors during wartime. Visitors appreciate the volunteer-led tours, which offer informative insights into the ship's history and functions.
