Naval Vets

Naval veterans sailing a 1942 ship known as a Landing Ship Tank, or L-S-T, from Greece to Mobile, Alabama, are near their destination. The ship will be used for a museum in Alabama. Its crew is made up of 32 Navy veterans who had served on this type of vessel. Noah talks with Bob Jornlin, Captain of the U.S.S. LST-325 Memorial, for an update on the story. (4:30) A log of the ship's crew can be found at: http://www.palosverdes.com/lst887/lst325.html; And http://www.uslst.org is the website of the U.S. LST Association.
