USS LST 173 Crew

USS LST 173 Crew

This crew list is a compilation of all muster sheets, June 30, 1943 through September 30, 1944. It contains the original crew aboard LST 173 and those who transferred on and off during her period of service. Ranks shown are relative to the period of service while on board LST 173 and may not be the actual rank obtained before departing the United States Navy. Crew pictures were provided by Frank Melko (S1c), Larry Mulvey (QM2c), Myron Howk (MoMM3c), Andy Swenson (MoMM3c), Fred Larsen (Lt. jg), and Joseph Raby (EM3c).

If you were a member of the LST 173 crew and would like to contribute a service photo and bio information, I would be more than happy to display it here at this web site. Please send an email to discuss.
