Dear Jazz,
Thanks a lot for the LPH additional info.
I have been trying to get more info about this designs on Friedman’s “US Amphibious Ships and Landing Craft” (2002) ISBN 1-55750-250-1 and Brown and Moore “Rebuilding the Royal Navy” (2003) ISBN 1 59114 705 0 but there are no references 🙁
The ship with the 17 marking has features in common with Spanish “Príncipe de Asturias” and BPE ships
Cheers,
Antonio
