Toys are my weakness. I have too many toys, not enough time (or money!)

That's Awesome! I've been on that LST before. There's also a Submarine in Muskegon, the USS Silversides.

Little did-you-know, post WWII they sent an LST on exhibit through the heartland, up the Mississippi and into the Great Lakes. They had a Marine detachment aboard and at stops they would simulate beach assaults in front of spectators and then let them on to explore the ship. They even created a jungle scene inside to show crowds what it was like to fight the Japanese.

My Marine uncle was part of this exhibit after his Pacific tour. This LST apparently was the only one to return back to the shipyard where she was built.
