The LST 794 was a Landing Ship Tank (see What's an LST anyway, at left),
crewed by U.S. Coast Guard personnel, that sailed and fought in the Pacific
Theater during the last year of World War II. LST's are large amphibious
ships that can cross oceans and then run right up on the beach to deploy
troops, equipment, and supplies. The '794 was manned by the same crew from
the time she was commissioned in November of 1944 until she was decommissioned
in 1946. This site chronicles the story of the LST 794 and her crew in
photographs, stories, and log entries.
