News of the Washtenaw County (LST1166) and a recent photo. Sure ain't what she used to be; but then neither am I. The ravages of time...

LST 1166 Severely Damaged by Metal Salvage Vandals

September, 2007

For those of you wondering what happened to the LST 1166 and why it has been deleted from the website: The U.S.S. Washtenaw County (LST 1166) has been severely damage by metal salvage vandals. Speculation has it that these are meth addicts trying to pay for their habit. The damage is so bad that the expectation is that the 1166 is no longer feasible to restore and may be towed out and sunk.
