Summary[edit]

Description

Two U.S. Navy tank landing ships at Newport News Shipbuilding, Virginia (USA), in 1942. LST-383 to LST-400 were built by Newport News. LST-383 and LST-384 were both launched on 28 September 1942. Note that the doors in the bows seem to have been retouched.

Original caption: "The first two of six new tank lighters launched recently at the Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Co's James River plant are shown as they floated out into the stream from the shipway in which they were built. They are of the class known as LST’s, built to carry United States tanks and trucks to the battle areas, under their power. Each is a complete ship in itself, with quarters for crews and troops to man the land vehicles".
