Talbot County class LST

[Thiel]

Does anyone have a profile drawing of this class? I've searched high and low, but so far I've been unable to locate "any" drawings at all.

Have you looked in Norman Friedman's US Amphibious Ships book? I know it has a discussion of the steam LST design, but I can't recall if there are drawings. If I remember, I'll check tonight.

A photograph on page 201 but no profile drawings of LST 1153 from Mr Friedman's book

Ah, you beat me to it. Yep, no drawing there, sadly. Seems odd, given that the 1153 is really the basis of all the post-war LST designs. Oh well.
