	Design
		The LST was designed to ground evenly (from bow to stern) on a beach with a slope of about one-foot for every fifty-feet (the design gradient).
		The LSTs actually took more man-hours to build than the Liberty and Victory (cargo) ships, which were almost 5 times larger; about 10,600 tons deadweight to the LST’s 2,180 tons.
		The LSTs were actually loaded for ocean passage to as much as 1,600 tons on the tank deck, and 300 tons on the main deck, and resulted in 33.3 tons per inch of immersion.

		Even though the 325 is my first LST experience, I had no doubt that what I was hearing could only be one thing, an operational tank deck blower.
		Jennings, who is a WWII vet on board the LST 726, and I did what we could for Earl for a few days and had a wonderful time in doing so.
		We also made a video of our exploits on the LST during our stay and, I assume, that can be borrowed from Earl as well.
