Located at Ft. Knox near the Patton Museum is a unique building. The LST Building is an example of early joint forces' operations. The Army, Navy, and British Admiralty contributed to its design, construction and use. The experiments conducted in the LST Building resulted in the modification of the design of LST Ships used to transport tens of thousands of troops in WWII.

	After completion of the experiments, troops received training in tank embarkation and debarkation techniques in the LST Building. Since the 1970's the LST Building has been used to store antique tanks.

	The LST Building replicated every detail of the tank deck of an LST Ship including replication of interior girders and rivets. Details of the upper deck of an LST Ship, such as the pilot house and railing were also replicated. Since the tank deck rides below water the building originally had no windows. They were added when the building was used as a classroom.
