uhhhhhh excuse my ignorance . . . but aren't LST's DESIGNED to run aground? When is it kosher and when is it not kosher?
When it unintentionally hits a big rock.

That's not true. The primary reason for amphib ships being
aground is not being able to off-load by the tide table.
Happened to us while offloading in Beaufort, South Car.
Our equip broke down, caused backup in offload, tide went
out left LST high and dry.
