Preliminary design plan prepared during examination of landing craft proposals.
This plan, dated December 1941, is for a 23-ton Landing Craft, Mechanised (LCM) type boat, with the tank deck above the water line. A table is included comparing this proposed tank lighter with 48-foot and 50-foot Higgins boats, and the Bureau of Ships' 47-foot tank lighter.
Scale of the original drawings is 1/4" = 1'.

The original plan is in the 1939-1944 "Spring Styles Book" held by the Naval Historical Center.
