Topic: USS LST 295

	Design
		The LST was designed to ground evenly (from bow to stern) on a beach with a slope of about one-foot for every fifty-feet (the design gradient).
		The LSTs actually took more man-hours to build than the Liberty and Victory (cargo) ships, which were almost 5 times larger; about 10,600 tons deadweight to the LST’s 2,180 tons.
		The LSTs were actually loaded for ocean passage to as much as 1,600 tons on the tank deck, and 300 tons on the main deck, and resulted in 33.3 tons per inch of immersion.
