Thanks! I was specifically asking about Jason's. I suppose with plenty of shallow harbours in the Greek archipelago there is no need to beach (you only have to look at the myriad of ferry routes covered by vessels of similar dimensions to the Jason's.) I just wondered if they were designed to be used in similar fashion to
traditional LST's (or the British RFA Knight class.)
Why are you spitting at the Newport's?
Thanks again!
