New Orleans museum ship

Re: In 1992, during a visit to New Orleans, I took a river tour. I noticed, on the opposite bank a mile or so upriver from the city, a WWII Escort "Jeep" Carrier . The tour guide said that it was in the process of being turned into a memorial/museum. I saw some photographs of New Orleans- post Katrina. I didn't see the ship. Whatever happened to it?Hokeman 18:17, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

I dont know of this - what is a WWII Escort "Jeep" Carrier? - is it a Landing craft tank or smaller like a LCVP? May be able to track it down still. - mervyn 12:04, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

An escort or "jeep" carrier was the smallest type of aircraft carrier used in WWII. They were used primarily for convoy escort duty in the Atlantic; although a few were also used in the Pacific. Some fought heroic actions (e.g. Taffy 3 in the Battle of Leyte Gulf.) I have tried everything I could think of to find that ship- internet searches,looking through old photo albums- to no avail. I still need to hear from my buddy who went on the trip with me to see if he has any photo's. If I find out anything, I'll keep you posted. Thanks for your help.Hokeman 17:21, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
