The Aristaeus class ships
were LSTs converted to repair ships
for use at
forward bases. They appear to have been capable of performing the
heaviest
repairs that could be carried out without dry docking. Conversion was
performed on the ways and the
ships were never fitted with bow ramps or
ramp machinery.
