LCT(6)-637 underway off Omaha Beach, Normandy, France, 6 June 1944. Note the list to starboard that developed during the crossing; this
hampered the unloading of engineering equipment for several days. On 9 June 1944 while beaching, this LCT struck a mine, blowing a hole 4X6 feet in her bottom and another 8x10 foot hole in
her deck. With the assistance of a crane and trucks the load was finally off loaded.
