Comment: Contract for construction of five LSTs by Elefsis Shipyard signed 15 May 1986. Bow and stern ramps, drive through design. First laid down 18 April 1987, second in September 1987, third in May 1988, fourth April 1989 and fifth November 1989. Completion of all five and in particular the last three, severely delayed by shipyard financial problems. The shipyard was privatised in October 1997 and progress has markedly improved since then. Combat data system is a refurbished German system.
