	LST-326
		The USS LST-326 was commissioned on 26 February 1943 as a Navy-manned vessel.
		A stern lookout at 1639 reported a squadron of Curtiss P-40s coming in from the south at 3,000 feet and a minute later the LST was dive-bombed in a surprise attack, three bombs landing from 50 to 100 feet away, starboard and port.
		The mooring was accomplished with difficulty because the roll and pitch of the LST were so much greater then that of the Liberty ship that the distance between the two changed quickly from a sharp damaging impact to a distance of nine or 10 feet.
