"We have beautiful things here like Victorian homes, but the last thing you expect to see in Evansville, 

Indiana, is a naval vessel." That's how LST 325 Memorial board member Chris Donahue describes what he thinks is the most unique thing in the river city. 

WNIN's Steve Burger talked with Chris aboard the LST 325. They discussed the ship's battle history, the place where the most LST's were made during World War II and the ship's pending move to a more prominent place on Evansville's riverfront.
