The landing ship gantry was a converted <a href="/wiki/Tanker_(ship)" title="Tanker (ship)">tanker</a> with a crane to transfer its cargo of landing craft from deck to sea—15 LCM in a little over half an hour.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The design was developed and built in the U.S. for the U.S. Navy and the Royal Navy. The LSD could carry 36 LCM at 16 <a href="/wiki/Knot_(unit)" title="Knot (unit)">knots</a> (30 km/h). It took one and a half hours for the dock to be flooded down and two and half to pump it out.
