Navy ship which was built in 1958 and, when fully loaded, displaces 8,000 tons, more than five times that of a World War II LST. She can steam 14,000 miles without re- fueling and has a top speed in excess of 15 knots, according to her skipper, Lcdr. Horace D. Mann Jr., a 33-year-old North Carolina native. The DeSoto County, one of the newest ships of her type, is designed to transport and iand tanks, other heavy equip- ment and weapons in amphib- ious landings. With her shal- lnw draft forward, she is capa- ble of moving close to shore and being attached to pontoon causeways over which cargo can move, thereby bridging the gap between ship and shore. She can also move into a hos- tile. shore, beach herself, and, d'scharge her cargo throught hcl bow doors directly onto thci I beach. Visitors will get a view of' the modern Navy-Marine Corpsl Team during their inspection ol the huge ship which has, aboard a 'Cine-Globe Cruiser Theater, a tracked landing vehicle, a 52- ton tank, a self-propelled how- itzer, a Navy helicopter. a Four-Ocean Challenger exhibit, the Navy's Polaris ballistic mis- sln, the Marine Corps' Me- chanical Mule, its 0ntos tank killer and a Navy under- water demolition team of frog-1 rnen. ,A Marine karate team and a 25-voice chorus will also be found aboard the warship which leaves Cleveland, O., Saturday' to under Lt Jgy ana carrieu with ...in ...-,,-lYJC11111 of 111011111011 ., ..,., .... . . ,, I g ioiganization He is a
