Amphibious Ships

USS LSM(R)-194 is seen from the starboard bow at Charleston, South Carolina on December 2, 1944 wearing camouflage 31/10L with feathered edges. The vertical colors probably are black, navy green and ocean green. LSM(R)'s were modified from LSM's to carry rockets and more guns in order to have greater firepower close to a beach landing.
