    * USS LST-357 earned three battle stars for World War II service:
    “We transported British Soldiers from Tripoli into Salerno, Italy. After the initial invasions we made many backup trips to the above with tanks, troops and supplies. At Salerno we suffered 90 some casualties including the skipper, Lt. George Vaughn who survived. On our return to our home port of Bizerte or whatever other port in North Africa we were assigned we transported prisoners and casualties as required.”. William M. Peacock, Quartermaster, USS LST 357, 8 February 1943 to 16 August 1944
