Hero Ships season 1 episode 1

Genre: Documentary   History

Episode title: LST 325

“Landing Ship Tanks” weren't deemed noble enough to have names. They were not thought of as warships even though they were the first floating metal to touch beaches in engagements from North Africa to the Philippines. The story of these ships exemplifies the collective saga of a design class that had absolutely no military precedent before the first keel was laid in June 1942.
