Project history: Former USN Thomaston class. The 119.2x14.6m well deck accommodated three LCU or nine LCM-8 or fifty LVT. The helicopter deck was removable and there were no maintenance facilities; two 50t cranes can reach down to a mezzanine (vehicle stowage) or the well deck. Bows were strengthened for ice navigation, and the last two units were air conditioned.
