The Amphibious Forces Memorial Museum is an Oregon Non Profit organization dedicated to the restoration and preservation of the USS LCI 713.

Our Mission is to preserve the history of the Amphibious Forces in WWII, Korea, and Vietnam.

To educate the public on the rich naval maritime heritage that the Amphibious Forces have played in our nation's history; and the importance of preserving historic naval ships for future generations.

To serve as a resource available to educational institutions, our ships artifacts, and veteran sailor's and soldier's documentation will present in context, a comprehensive insight into the partnership of industry, labor and evolving military necessity to solve the tactical and practical matters required to respond to the conflagration of WWII and the continuing employment of military power into the present.

To serve as a tribute and provide the opportunity for the reflection of the accomplishments of the Amphibious Forces during wartime and the application of military technology to civilian enterprise, wherever the need to move men and equipment ashore from seagoing vessels is required.

The USS LCI 713 is a World War II era Landing Craft Infantry. This type of vessel is capable of landing up to 200 soldiers onto almost any beach in the world.
