LCI713 WW2 Landing Craft tour
Welcome aboard for a 42 minute tour of WW2 Veteran Landing Craft LCI 713. See the inside and out from stem to stern of the restored 158 ft long 200 ton Landing Craft Infantry, USS LCI713. Built at Geo Lawley and Sons Shipyard in Neponset, Mass in late 1944, the 713 saw action in the Pacific as part of Flotilla 24, making combat landings at Zamboanga, RPI, and Brunei Bay, Borneo. LCI's were known as the "Waterbug Navy" and were employed for landing troops, providing close in gunfire support, smoke laying to screen the main force, and for inshore cargo carriers after the landings took place. See the restored ship that gives you an idea of what it must have been like to be on the smallest Navy ship able to cross the ocean under its own power. Located in Portland, OR and operated and maintained by the Amphibious Forces Memorial Museum, www.amphibiousforces.org, it is the prime example of this type of ship available for public tours.
