USS TRAVERSE COUNTY LST-1160 A PHOTO ALBUM OF A YEAR ABOARD: JULY 1968
TO AUGUST 1969 By Jerry
Search, then RD3
This is the USS Traverse
County NOW, as the Peruvian Navy's B.A.P. Eten, DT-144
The first 7 photos are by the gracious
courtesy of a Peruvian gentleman who goes by HALCON_24. Thanks also to Gerry Whitecotton, then DC3,
for the tip that lead me to HALCON_24 and these photos. {Click} on a Thumbnail for a larger picture.
NOTE: These are large files!
Google Earth view of the Peruvian Navy in Lima, Peru Arrow points to what is possibly the BAP Eten.
These four photos are by the Peruvian
Navy.
BAP Eten
Welcome Aboard!
According to HALCON_24, the four LST's
in the Peruvian Navy will soon be replaced with the newer Newport
Class of LST. I'm getting old! I can clearly remember
when the Newports were brand new, and the "latest thing"!!
