Response to Inside LST

Seabat,
up to the early 1990's there were close to 100 former WW2 LST ships in service around the world.All with various Govt's. The Indon. Army would have the most. They also had built in the 60's five more to the original U.S.N. plans. (built in Sth. Korea) These vessels carried the original U.S.N. numbers, and were to be seen in news footage during the TIMOR uprisings. Don't confuse them with the original ships. Philipines got over 60 thru the years and many of them are still in commission. Republic of Singapore took five and have just started (Y2K) to replace them. I do have the numbers for them somewhere .
regards Raymond
