This is a US Army vehicle (USAV)... obviously a landing craft, visiting Astoria during her transit from Puget Sound back to her home port in southern California. As a Navy vet, it still puzzles me to see "USA" vs "USN" on ships' designations.
I was told by the watchstander that among their many cargoes, these craft have carried at least one Navy F-14... the aircraft that I spent the most time maintaining. Looking at the cargo deck, I imagined trying to make a Turkey fit. Clearly, it would, but the crane operator would have been sweating bullets getting it into place.
