LST 1191 info

Okay. Thanks everyone. I was curious because eventually I want to build a model of the Racine for my dad.

My two favorite sources

Floating Drydock plans
G-LST1179 - USS NEWPORT LST1179 - $30.00

(no hull lines or sections)

And the model that seems to be available

Norman Friedman's U.S. Amphibbious Ships & Craft: an Illustrated Design History (Naval Institute Press) has a rear 3/4's view of the Racine on page 343 and a small general profile and main deck plan on the following page. Might want to check the Floating Drydock's website to see if any better plans are available.
