LCI(M)-803

LCI(M)-803 was a Landing Craft Infantry (Mortar) vessel commissioned by the United States Navy during World War II. Laid down in 1944, she was part of the LCI(L)-351-class, later converted to the mortar-armed LCI(M) configuration to provide close-in fire support during amphibious assaults. LCI(M)-803 participated in operations in the Pacific Theater, including support roles during the Okinawa campaign, where her mortars delivered suppressive fire against Japanese shore positions. After the war, she was decommissioned and eventually struck from the Naval Vessel Register, concluding her service as part of the US Navy’s amphibious forces.
