It has a crew of 156, and is armed with two (18 tube, 140.4mm) rocket launchers, two 30mm cannon, and some shoulder fired anti-aircraft missiles. A medium helicopter can be carried and operated off a landing deck. Top speed is 28 kilometers an hour, and the ship can stay at sea for 45 days before needing replenishment of supplies. Each LST cost $100 million.
