Seadogs - 2001-2003 Chief Engineer LCM 8607, Deployed during Operation Enduring Freedom as an engineer aboard the LCU-2027 Mechanicsville!! I miss my days on the boats!!!

[@jeffreyclark2839]

She used to be the fastest boat in the fleet! Belonged to 2nd Plt. the blue stripe on the wheel house designated this, and 1st Plt was a white stipe if I am not mistaken. I was part of the crew of guys that helped design that overhead cover behind the wheelhouse on the stern deck! My crew and I also developed a wooden board to go under the forward windows in the wheelhouse, not sure if its still in there or not. SPC-P Clark 88L10Y2 (AASLT)

i was a engineer on the 8504 with the 1099th trans 1976-1979 sister unit to 1098 trans at jt eustis, good times.

[@mikeklaene4359]

This looks like the James River just above Ft Eustis. I was in the T school there in early 1967. Did the 61A10 -> 61B20 -> 61B30 sequence and then most of my class were sent to Ft Story to train on the LARC-Vs. Ended up spending most of 68 at the munitions port at Camp Vayama Thailand working as a 57H with the 233 TC TS 9th LC.

The army actually has more landing craft than the navy

[@larrycooper1907]

A lot of people don't know that. Also, the Army is in charge of running a port in wartime. (I spent 23 years in the Navy, the last 15 was with spent mostly on amphibious ships).

[@railroad9000]

Glad these were not combat conditions! The boat would have been destroyed by now if it was. They had better get the Navy to train them on landing craft procedures!
