                     BASIC DATA
 
     1. Transit times calculated by assuming a speed of advance 
of 9 kinors for LST's, and 11 knots for LCI(L)'s.
 
     2. Each landing craft will require one week overhaul, with 
base or tender assistance, after an ocean voyage; it is esti-
mated that 6 LST's and 12 LCI(L)'s can be overhauled by an AD, 
AS, AR, or ARL in one week provided spare parts are available.
 
    3. LST's and LCI(L)'s should not be assigned to the same
convoy as this would require the LCI(L)'s ruling at critical
engine speed.     
 
   4. LCT(5) crew can knock down one LCT(5) in:
     8 hours after practice
     24 hours without practice
       Crew can assemble one LCT(5) in:
     48 hours without practice
 
   5. LCT(5)'s heaviest, weight when knocked down is 50 tons, 
which usually requires a dock crane for unloading.
 
  6. Data on transportation of shipboard types of landing craft
in cargo vessels and LST cargo vessels.
