==Sinking==
"Exercise Tiger" was a pre-invasion exercise carried out off the coast of Southern England in April 1944. After having taken on its complement of personnel and vehicles at Brixham, the LST joined the end of a convoy at Torquay.
Just after 0200, whilst circling Lyme Bay, the convoy was attacked by a group of German E-boats. LST-507 was the first to be hit by a torpedo at 0203, and had to be abandoned by 0230. It partially floated till dawn and then the bow was sunk by fire from a British destroyer. It was the only LST (out of the three hit, of which two sank) to go up in flames. 424 US army and navy personnel were killed on board, out of the total of 749 US personnel who died during Exercise Tiger.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Combinedops.com - Operation Tiger )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Oral Histories - Exercise Tiger, 28 April 1944 (provided by LT Eugene E.
