| | LST 794 - The Voyage Home (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21) |
 | | The LST 794 remained in San Francisco for three months as her crew was processed individually and in groups through the separation centers that were processing men out of the service as fast as possible. |
 | | On July 1, 1955, the '794 was given a name, Gibson County, after counties in Indiana and Tennessee - although the only name her crew ever knew her by was LST 794. |
 | | On May 23, 1959, when I was two and a half years old, she was towed out to sea off the west coast, used as a practice target by the submarine Rasher (SS 269), and sunk. |
