LST Minute:

While there were only five variations to the original design, each LST had about 30,000 parts.  There were many different uses of the five designs.

LST’s could carry 1,060 tons of fuel (265,000 gallons), 600 tons of cargo on the tank deck, and another 300 tons on the main deck.  This resulted in 33.3 tons per inch of draft.

Designed to ground evenly, LST’s have twin rudders and screws 40 feet apart.
