(1) Seagoing types                - late October 1943
         (2) LCT(5)                           - end of 0ctober 19 43
         (3) Other shipborne              - mid-October to early November
               types                                 1943.
 
    b. If the mountzng of  ANAKIM is predicated on using landing
craft from HUSKY, a target date of early November can be met.
    c. It is obvious that landing craft commititted to ANAKIM can not
 be used in a ROUNDUP launched 1 April 1944. At the earliest, these 
 craft can arrive in U. K. early in August, 1944.
 
 
ll. To PACIFIC.
a. On the assumption that the main effort will be directed against Japan after

(1) Seagoing types - early January,  1944
(2) Shipborne types - mid-January, 1944.

    12.  The greatest concentration of landing craft in the PACIFIC is now in the
SOUTH-SOUTHWEST PACIFIC area.
 
13. Problem:
    To determine the implications of moving amphibious assault craft from the South 
craft from the SOUTH-S0UTWEST PACIFIC area.

a. On the assumptions that the NEW GUINEA- SOLOMONS operations are completed are
completed about 1 January 1944, amhibious assult
