USAV Aldie (LCU-2004)
302500402	38k	Namesake Aldie - The Battle of Aldie took place on June 17, 1863, in Loudoun County, Virginia, as part of the Gettysburg Campaign of the American Civil War. Maj. Gen. J.E.B. Stuart's cavalry screened Gen. Robert E. Lee's Confederate infantry as it marched north in the Shenandoah Valley behind the sheltering Blue Ridge Mountains. The pursuing Union cavalry of Brig. Gen. Judson Kilpatrick's brigade, in the advance of Brig. Gen. David McM. Gregg's division, encountered Col. Thomas T. Munford's troopers near the village of Aldie, resulting in four hours of stubborn fighting. Both sides made mounted assaults by regiments and squadrons. Kilpatrick was reinforced in the afternoon, and Munford finally withdrew toward Middleburg.(Wikipedia) Photo - Cavalry batttle near Aldie, VA.

USAV Stoney Point (LCU-2004)
3025200407	177k	Namesake Stony Point - Stoney Point is a a rocky peninsula on the west bank of the Hudson River. It was the only link between two main traveled roads leading from New England to Pennsylvania, so it became vital to the Revolutionary War effort. The British hweld Stoney Point until the night of 16 July 1779, when “Mad Anthony" Wayne and the American Light Infantry stormed it. His strategy was simple but effective. The center of the American force fired noisy shots to divert the enemy while two silent columns with empty muskets and fixed bayonets swarmed the fortification. The combat was brutal hand-to-hand fighting, and 123 British Soldiers were killed. While the fort was ordered to evacuate quickly after the battle by General Washington, this key crossing site was used later in the war by units of the Continental Army to cross the Hudson River on their way to victory over the British. The morale of the young American Army was boosted tremendously as word spread about the victory. Photo - General "Mad" Anthony Wayne and Battle of Stoney Point - engraved by J. H. Brightly.
