Amazing find after following your gut instinct and doing good field research!
Hanno, of course we won't mention the 9 other times I chased ships through the country that turned out to be non WW2

Wow! Between the superstructure and the hull stretching I'm amazed you spotted the old girl!

Hello Alex,
Nice photos. It is a Landing Craft Gun(Medium) as you thought.

The Landing Craft Gun(Medium) and the Landing Craft Support(Rocket) did use the same hull.

Only two of Landing Craft Support(Rocket) were completed.

I am not sure if the one in Stockholm is a LCS(R) or a LCG(M). It is marked up as “LCSR 3” for some reason.

Regards

Danny

Practice makes perfect!

Next question: which one of the 56 LCG(M)'s completed was it?
