LST-1197 Decommissioning (June 29, 1994): Looking forward from tank deck hatch at aft superstructure and through the "wind tunnel." Tank Deck vents were painted with United States and Spanish Flags for the Decommissioning and Transfer-to-Spain ceremonies. Underneath the US Flag are the words "A Proud Ship" and under the Spanish flag, the corresponding words, "Un Barco Orgulloso"
