Hi.
I was ill the last week so no new data last week, sorry.
Some additions to Army SB.101 landing ships:
Tanks, vehicles, soldiers and supply was transported in the transport deck between bridge and bow. Additionally tanks and equipment could be transported on the deck above the transport deck. After landing the bow ramp was lowered and vehicles and equipment were unloaded. After the transport deck was empty an internal ramp could be lowered to allow unloading the upper deck, too.
The SB.101-class also carried a 9 m standard navy issue motorboat and a Shohatsu.
In 1945 the naval T.101 and T.103-classes were fitted with a standard type 22 air and surface radar. I´m not sure if the army SB.101 were fitted with this radar, too.
Yours
tom!
