The Crosleys,
completed in 1943-45, were a group of fifty Rudderow
hulls converted on the ways to fast attack transports by replacing the
torpedo tubes and one 5" gun with davits for four LCVPs and an enlarged deck house
for the troops. When used to carry a UDT, they
typically carried just 14 officers and 100 men.
Only those units completed in time for deployment
to the Pacific are listed below.
