USS LST-84 was one of the hundreds of Tank landing ships built during World War II to support amphibious military operations. Her role was to carry significant quantities of vehicles, cargo, and troops directly onto an unimproved shore. The ship was sponsored by Mrs. W. Raymond Brendel. The ship was constructed inland at Jeffersonville, Indiana, by the Jeffersonville Boat & Machine Co. as coastal ship yards were used to build larger naval vessels. The ship traversed the Ohio and Mississippi River to reach open water. ==World War II operations== During World War II, LST-84 was assigned to the Pacific theater, earning five battle stars for participation in the following operations: *Gilbert Islands operation, *Marshall Islands operation, occupation of Kwajalein and Majuro Atolls - February 1944, *Marianas operation, capture and occupation of Saipan - June and July 1944, capture and occupation Tinian - July 1944, *Iwo Jima operation, assault and occupation of Iwo Jima - February and March 1945. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「USS LST-84」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
