The Tollands were
completed in 1944-45. They were Maritime Commission
standard C2-S-AJ3 hulls
armed and manned by Navy crews for landing
cargo on the
beach during amphibious
assaults. They carried 1 LCPLs,
8 LCM(3), and 15-16 LCVP
with which to
transport their
cargo ashore. Their forward kingpost had two 5-ton and two 10-ton
booms, and the fore and aft quadrupods each had two 35-ton and two
5-ton booms. Externally they resembled the Andromedas.
The Navy was happy enough with these ships that the last was not decommissioned until 1970.
