	What are LSTs
		LSTs were designed during World War II to disembark military forces without the use of dock facilities or the various cranes and lifts necessary to unload merchant ships.
		World War II LSTs are no longer found in U.S. naval service but some are still in use by the navies of other countries who were given the ships after their usefulness in the U.S. navy ended.

	Tank landing ship - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Such a high priority was assigned to the construction of LSTs that the keel of an aircraft carrier, previously laid in the dock, was hastily removed to make place for several LSTs to be built in her stead.
		The keel of the first LST was laid down on 10 June 1942 at Newport News, Va., and the first standardized LSTs were floated out of their building dock in October.
		Although the LST was considered a valuable target by the enemy, only 26 were lost due to enemy action, and a mere 13 were the victims of weather, reef, or accident.

		A new proposed ballast system gave one ship both capabilities: when at sea, the LST took on water for stability, and when conducting landing operations, the water was pumped out to produce a shallow-draft vessel.
		The American-built LST Mk2, or LST(2), was 328 feet in length and 50 feet wide.
		A typical American LST was armed with seven 40-millimetre and 12 20-millimetre antiaircraft guns.

		The Admiralty then requested the United States to build 200 LSTs for the Royal Navy under the terms of lend-lease.The preliminary plans initially called for an LST 280 feet (85 m) in length; but, in January 1942, the Bureau of Ships discarded these drawings in favor of specifications for a ship 290 feet long.
		Of the 1,051 LSTs built during World War II, 670 were constructed by five major inland builders.By 1943, the construction time for an LST had been reduced to four months; and, by the end of the war, it had been cut to two months.
		World War II era LSTs have become somewhat ubiquitous, and have found a number of novel commercial uses, including operating as small freighters, ferries, and dredges.Consequently, construction of LSTs in the immediate post-war years was modest.

		The durability of the LST in World War II may have been surprising to some; it most certainly must have been satisfying to its designers and builders, gratifying to its commanders and comforting the crews that manned them.
		LST 920 was decommissioned from the U.S. Navy in San Francisco in 1946, stripped of armanemt and stores, and placed in storage at Suisun Bay, available for purchase.
		Nevertheless, in 1948, LST 920 was bought by Standard Oil and Gas for operation, and named Stanolind 55, This period did not last long because in 1951 she appeared in RECORD of American Bureau of Shipping as vessel GUARAPE, bought by new Brazilian owner Empreza International deTransportes, Santos, Brazil with Brazilian registry.

	History of USS LST-481
		LSTs seemed to be very hard to control as far as steering in close quarters was concerned, and almost all of them had dings and dents where they had made contact with a dock or with another ship at some time in their life.
		LSTs were often called upon to refuel and re water some of the smaller vessels in a convoy when a long voyage was being made.
		The group of LSTs arrived at Milne Bay, which is on the eastern tip of New Guinea, on March 29, 1944, and we were immediately aware that this must be one of the places in the world which God had intended to be a punishment for all who were required to be there.

		Presumably the LSTs were escorted by one corvette, but this vessel does not seem to have been in the vicinity during the action.
		At least one LST was equipped with radar and reported that two unknown vessels were approaching, but it was assumed that these were craft belonging to the convoy.
		LST 507, the first attacked, was hit by several torpedoes which failed to explode, then was set afire by a direct torpedo hit.

		A fourth, LST 460, reversed from the beach with only half of its planned consignment of aviation fuel aboard, due to an enormous fire developing in the fuel dump.

	What Is An LST?
		Normally, an LST had a crew of about 120 men and 10 officers, but this varied due to the number of LCVPs that were carried.
		Of the 1,051 LSTs that were built for the U.S. Navy during the World War II, 670 were launched by five major inland shipyards on the Ohio and Illinois rivers.
		The WWII class of the LST is the largest of a single ship design ever built for the U.S. Navy and placed in commission in such a short period of time.

		Three of the four LSTs (Landing ship tank) to which he was assigned were sunk, but each time he had just been transferred to another, while on one trip between France and England, the LSTs both in front and behind the one he was on, were sent to the bottom by German E-boats.
		The trip across the channel on the LST required 12 to 14 hours, he said, and in all, he made eight of these trips, averaging every two or three days.
		It was on one of these trips, with a French sloop for an escort, that the LSTs both in front and behind the one he was on, were sunk by German E-boats, he explained.

		In 1942, the plant contracted with the Navy to build LSTs, and within nine months a swampland of 64 acres had disappeared and in its place was a shipyard producing LSTs.

	LSTs
		Therefore, an LST is close enough to a flat top for me to call it a carrier.
		If it was still turning, we might consider not landing since there was not enough room on the deck of an LST to accommodate the diameter of two turning rotors; that is, without causing vital parts of both helicopters to be cast upon the waters.
		Immediately, I felt the aircraft falling as the LST plunged into another trough, but, this time, the skids were on the deck and we were all, man and machine, riding the waves together.

		Coast Guard-manned LSTs participated in almost all of the major amphibious invasions undertaken by the U.S. during the war.
		Although they were irreverently known by their crews as a Large, Slow Targets, these were the vessels that put troops and supplies on enemy shores, ensuring in the end a victory for the Allies over each of the Axis powers.

	HyperWar: Transport Doctrine [Chapter 5]
		LSTs equipped with ramp can carry the additional tank and the Company maintenance tractors on the top deck providing an LCT is not carried.
		In all cases, whether anchored or not, the LST engines should be used as much as possible to prevent yawing, and to eliminate cross currents or cross seas over the ramp.
		Thus if the LST is anchored by the stern or is making sternway, landing should not be made at the stern, as it is easy to be forced under the pontoons, which may then do serious damage to the personnel and equipment.
