USS LCI(L)-93

USS LCI(L)-93 was an amphibious assault ship (Landing Craft Infantry – Large), commissioned in 1943 by the United States Coast Guard.

German Artillery then opened fire on the vulnerable ship, seriously wounding several soldiers and Coast Guardsmen.

Among those injured were Stewards Mate 2/c John Roberts, an African American crewman, who lost his leg when an enemy shell passed through a bulkhead.

In addition to several photographs taken of LCI(L)-93 after the battle, several paintings of Omaha Beach depict the ship under fire on D-Day.
