Landing Ship Medium was developed primarily for the needs of the US Navy, intended to support landing operations of the United States armed forces in the final period of World War II. the principles of the so-called stream production, as a result of which nearly 560 units of this type were created in the years 1944-1945. Units of this type were comparable in size to LST or LCI "landing craft". As standard, a single LSM ship could carry 5 medium tanks (eg M4 Sherman) or 6 LVTs or 9 DUKW amphibians. It is worth noting that a number of LSM units from typical amphibious units have been converted into amphibious assault support ships with relatively strong artillery, especially missile weapons. After 1945, many LSM units were placed in reserve and later scrapped. However, some of them were handed over to allies, for example, West Germany.
