Here are some pictures borrowed and scanned. The first three do not offer any information, so I do not know the location or dates of these photographs. The only information is written on the back of the first, stating “our LVTs are parked in revetments to avoid being bombed.”
The final to photographs are of the Assault Amphibious School Maintenance Bay and dated 1952. We used this same building when I went through the school in 1992. It was finally torn down and the new Schoolhouse sits atop this location, opened in 07. I have pictures of the ramp when I went through school, talk about an interesting line up then too, a BMP-1, LVT3C, and AAVP7A1’s in the old camo and the NATO tri, some with the old “star wars” turret and the rest with the UGWS.
Here is the picture with the information on the back. It is an LVT3C, not sure when or where.
Here is lineup of LVT3C’s, do not know when or where.
In the upper left is three LVT3’s, the rest along the bottom of the picture are LVT3C’s.
All sorts of activity in this picture. LVTA5’s, LVTA5 Modified’s and LVT3C’s. On the right is the Maintenance Bay that apparently provided many years of service. The building way in the background on the left I believe is still standing, but now serves as the Corporal’s Course barracks. In the line up of Quonset huts on the right, the last in line is now the WWII / Korea LVT Museum.
A better shot of the Maintenance Bay with a couple of LVT3’s and several LVT3C’s sitting on the small slab of cement available back then.
