We need YOUR help!
The throttle controls on the USS LST 325 are in dire need of replacement!
This replacement will include the addition of a set of controls in the pilot house to enable the captain to adjust the engine speed himself without having to give verbal commands. It is estimated that the cost of new controls will be close to $10,000. The ship’s volunteer crew and engineering team are eager to complete a project to replace the throttle controls. With your assistance, we can provide them with the funding necessary to get this project underway while the ship is docked in Evansville over the winter season.
Please share with family & friends and on your own social media platforms!
