LST is landing ship tank.They can make a bridge from pretty far out to sea and can link with other T's to make a pretty cool site out to sea.LSD's are landing ship dock.They balast down and load the well deck with small boats and other landing craft.Man it is a blast working the well deck.As far as numbers go it is way up there.T's were used all the way back in WWI and D's came right after them in WWII.The D's that are out now have changed a lot and so have the T's.bbd
I forgot to add I have never counted them.one of these days I should try and catalog all of them but for now I am just too lazy!!
