USS LST-831 in amphibious assault training with elements of U.S. 2nd Marine Division during World War II
Landing Ship Tank, LST-831, carrying elements of the 2nd Marine Division, in amphibious assault rehearsal training in Northern Mariana Islands during World War 2. She displays red flag with white stripe, as a secondary control ship for Red Beach. (Later, in the Battle of Okinawa, they would be part of a demonstration Tractor Group making diversionary attacks on the Southeastern coast). She arrives at beach with bow doors open, lowers her ramp, and a landing vehicle tracked (LVT) exits onto the beach. A bright orange flag flutters on beach in front of the camera, where it has been planted to guide boats during the exercise. LST-831 then backs away from the beach to allow LVTs to get experience operating in deep water. Remaining footage shows LVTs making their way through the water, loaded with Marines. Closeup of an LVT.
Fleet Oiler, USS Neches (AO-47) fuels an aircraft carrier during heavy seas in World War II
U.S. Fleet Oiler, USS Neches ( AO-47) is seen refueling an aircraft carrier during heavy seas and weather in the Pacific in World War 2. At one point the rudder of the USS Neches is seen exposed as she pitches. In final part of the sequence, the number 47 can be seen clearly on the bow of the Neches as viewed from a covered deck on the carrier. Note: A crew member on the Neches added the following inforrmation: "This fueling of the fleet was just days before we sailed into an inlet off the island of Okinawa. Several days later we shot down a suicide plane while anchored there in the inlet. I was the sightsetter on the 5 inch gun that shot the plane down. We hit it on our third shot and it splashed into the water just shy of an LST, its target. The plane's original target was our Neches but, after the first shot, it turned and headed toward the LST. My memory tells me it was on April 7th."
