This map shows the voyage of the 512 as it brought the war in the Pacific to the inland waterways and the industrial heartland, where LST's were built, and where the factories produced the materials needed for the war effort. Cities with a star were where the 512 visited for display only. A dot by the city indicates that it also did a mock amphibious landing, complete with "off shore bombardment" aerial bombing and strafing, USMC assault forces landing, followed by the 512 "dropping the ramp" and discharging tanks and equipment. One of the Shermans on board was equipped with a flamethrower, and was dubbed "Belching Betty."
