Project history: In 1942 purpose built ships of LST(1) type were completed, which, however, did not approach for a batch production because of insufficient adaptability to manufacture, high cost and too deep draught.
Modernizations: by 1945, all: + 4 x 1 - 40/56 Bofors Mk III
Naval service: No significant events.
