Print, Photographic
Description:
Black & white print of a photograph showing LST-1162 (U.S.S. Wahkiakum County) underway in an unknown location. LST-1162 is a member of the Terrebonne Parish Class LSTs and thus features some key differences from previous classes of the ships (see catalog item 2017.009.155 for summary). The main deck appears to be holding two drones (perhaps for target practice) and a launching system along with a small amount of other cargo. The ship's number and a copyright mark for Our Navy, Inc. are stamped in gold lettering near the bottom.
