| • | The Landing Ship Support, Large (LSSL) class of amphibious assault ships were used by the United States Navy in World War II in the Pacific. They were primarily used to close support before landing forces on beaches.
The original designation for the ships was LCS(L)(3), which stood for Landing Craft Support (Large)(Mark 3).
A total of 130 were made. Three different ship building yards did the construction: Lawley & Sons, George (Neponset, MA); Commercial Iron Works (Portland, OR); and Albina Engine Works (Portland, OR).
The ships also made very good fire fighting ships.
At the end of the war, many were transferred to Japan, and other nations.
