LST Landing Ship Tank
Lindberg D-Day Invasion LST

LST, or landing ship tank, were naval vessels built during World War II to carry vehicles, cargo, and troops onto an unimproved shore.
The first tank LSTs were built to British requirements by converting existing ships, then the British and US collaborated upon a joint design. Over 1,000 LSTs were laid down in the United States during the war. 80 more were built in the UK and Canada.
