Beachhead Normandy by Thomas Carter
World War II naval history has been discussed and examined from almost every possible angle. One story that has never been told in detail, however, is that of the U.S. Navy's little landing craft, tank (LCT). Even though they are known for landing on the beaches at Normandy, the LCTs were more than mere transports.
Tom Carter grew up in a navy family with a father who had landed at Normandy. After high school, Carter enlisted in the navy and served three years aboard the USS Semmes (DDG 18), making deployments to the Persian Gulf in 1976 and with the Sixth Fleet in the Mediterranean in 1977. After his service, Carter worked for a series of newspapers as a reporter, news editor, night editor, and copy editor. He later earned a PhD in communications from the University of Tennessee and now teaches journalism and medieval British literature at Roanoke College in Salem, Virginia.
