Particulars of United States Navy's landing craft; smaller than LST, LSM will go faster and can be unloaded more quickly; this high speed, plus shallower draft, permits LSM to drive farther up on beach; propelled by two General Motors non-reversing 1800-hp Diesel engines; each turns at 800 rpm full load and has 16 cylinders; Army tank crews and officers can be housed for several days in special quarters, along with 48 enlisted men and four officers of LSM.
