Haskell Attack Transport Ship

The American Haskell-class attack transports were built in large numbers during the Second World War to move troops and equipment into amphibious operations. Their arrangements included landing craft and facilities for embarking and disembarking an assault force. Derived from merchant-hull production methods, they supported the logistical scale of the Pacific campaigns. Their task was not to fight like a cruiser but to deliver the people and material needed for sustained operations ashore. The ships carried landing craft, troops, and their equipment, bringing an assault force close enough to transfer into smaller craft for the final approach. Their importance depended on organization and loading arrangements as much as speed. Pacific amphibious operations required this transport capacity on a scale that combat warships alone could never provide.
