Even at the end of the war there was a need for more ships able to carry minor landing craft, and two of the LST (3)s then completing were specially fitted to carry LCM (7).
Selv ved krigens slutning var der behov for flere skibe, som kunne bære mindre landgangsbåde, og to af de færdige LST (3) blev tilpasset til at bære LCM (7).
