Everything I was on was 10,000 tons or so, except the Valley Forge LPH-8, 27,000 tons, but it was a WWII Essex class CV prior to being converted to LPH.

Coronado LPD 10,000 tons (sister ship to the USS Ponce)
Alamo LSD 6,880 tons
Paul Revere LPA 16,828 tons
Iwo Jima LPH-2 10,717 tons
Okinawa LPH-3 10,717 tons

I believe we at one time had both the Coronado and the Alamo as part of the Tarawa Amphibious Ready Group...so may years, so many cruises.

Hard to remember.
