OF THE USS TORTUGA LSD-26 AND TO
ALL
WHO SERVED ABOARD HER.
"May Her Memory Never Fade"
at the outbreak of the Korean War.
After serving her Country in WW II, Korea & Vietnam, she was used for
target practice & scuttled. She was battered & beaten by violent
storms & she encountered hits from Tomahawk missiles, but it took
the "hot blue flame" of a welder's cutting torch to put her down ...
