Hi all, quote:
ORIGINAL: Tenzan Okay..Finally dug out the book I had: 1)T.1 Type 1944- It's hard to classify these; a sort of cross between an LSD and an APD..They carried four daihatsu LCVP's , or seven Type 2 LVT's, or two Koryu MS's, or six Kaitens All the loadouts went off rollers running down the aft deck. 2)T.101-103 Type 1944- Not much to explain here..essentially a Japanese LST. Carries anywhere from fourteen to four tanks depending on model. Bow gate disembarking 3)SB.101 Type 1944- Type 101 built for the IJ Army..main difference was that it was modified to burn coal. 4)SS.1 Type 1942- Smallish LCM type craft. carries four Type 97 tanks, or one truck and a company of marines. Bow door disembarking 5)Shiushu Maru 1935- The world's FIRST landing ship! Internal aircraft hangar deck, and through-deck carrying twenty daihatsu LCVP's. Disembarkation by stern doors and bow crane 6)Takatsu-Kibitsu Maru Type 1942- Standard Type 1 MA's converted to LSD's for IJ Army use. Carried thirteen daihatsu LCVP's, and twelve toku LCVP's. Stern door and crane disembarking. The LCVP's---------------------------------- Standard 'daihatsu barge' craft a)10-metre Shohatsu SB-C Type Built for the IJ Army-steel construction, motorboat-type hull b)13-metre Chuhatsu Type Steel construction, bow ramp c)15-metre Moku-Daihatsu Type Wooden constructiuon, bow ramp d)14-metre Daihatsu Type (Army designation LB-D) Steel construction, bow ramp e)17-metre Toku Daihatsu Type (Army designation N-L-BD) Steel construction, bow ramp And, that's what they used!
