LCT Flotillas In World War II
Note: Many LCTs were transferred into different Groups and even into different Flotillas throughout the War. In addition, some LCTs were "unattached" for periods of time, operating independently from their usual Flotilla or Group. The listings below reflect data complied from the National Archives records, previously published works and data supplied by the LCT veterans. This list represents the Flotillas and Groups at specific times during the War and is not complete. Some inconsistencies and errors are inevitable. The LCT Flotillas of WWII reunion group encourage vets to supply us with updated information on their LCTs, Flotillas and Groups.
