Having no knowledge whatsoever of landing ships, what are the main differences between the LST (2) and the LST (3) ? And is the Skywave one a LST (2) or a (3) ? Would it be possible to build a LST-542 class out of it?

Thanks in advance.

According to N.J.M. Campbell, LST(3) were British and Canadian-built to the same general plans, but had more extensive riveting and steam plants, and were therefore heavier (2300 tons, light; 4980 deep load) as opposed to LST(2), which were 1,625 tons light; 4,080 full load.

They were also rated slightly faster 13.5 knots vice 12.1 knots.

Your LST(3) model ought to have a larger funnel.

Ah, ok. So there is no length difference - that should make things easy.
