LST 325 returned home last night, cutting its annual river cruise short.
Departing a week ago, she had planned on visiting Brandenburg and Ashland, Kentucky, as well as Charleston, West Virginia.
A crew member testing positive for COVID-19 was the cause for the historic ship’s return.
The whole crew was vaccinated, but the virus ended up breaking through.
There’s also word of two other crew members showing possible symptoms.
Officials stress that safety is their number one priority.
