Title: LSTs in the South Pacific
Caption: Barrage balloons are used for protection over LSTs in the South Pacific in 1943-44 following their successful use at Sicily in 1943. However, they were discarded later in 1944 in the Pacific as they gave away the position of a task force to enemy search planes.
