The LCT Mk 5 was built in America based in part on a Thorneycroft design sketched out by the Admiralty. With modifications to better suit the Bureau of the Navy the British concept of a ‘tank lander’ became the Landing Craft Tank Mk 5. Production was started in a number of yards across the States by local companies – often with no ship building experience but working to common plans.
These companies includedthe

• Manitowoc S&B yard in Manitowoc, Wisconsin (57),
• Kansas City Structural Steel Co. (15),
• the Darby Prod. of Steel Plate Corp., (13) in Kansas City
• and the Missouri Valley Bridge & Iron Co., Leavenworth, Kansas (13),
• Quincy Barge Builders in Quincy Illinois, (60),
• Decatur Iron & Steel Co. (29),
• Bison Shipbuilding Co. Buffalo, NY (31),
• NY Shipbuilding Corp., Camden, New Jersey (101).
• Mount Vernon Bridge Co., Mount Vernon Ohio (36),
• Omaha Steel Works, Omaha, Nebraska (16),
• Pidgeon-Thomas iron Co., Memphis Tennessee (24)

  Typically a keel would be laid down every 3 or 4 days and completed in 35 days. The design was built in sections which were then assembled in the various yards.
