Webmaster note: I believe the photo shows the vessel marriage where USAV PAGE and an LCU of the 15th Trans Bn are "married" at an achorage off of Ile d'Aix during NODEX 21, October 1959. During this vessel marriage, USAV PAGE and the LCU each lowered their ramps onto a barge that connected them. The PAGE's load of trailers was then driven by means of M-52 tractors off of the PAGE and onto the LCU.
