Heywood-class Attack Transport
The ''Heywood''-class attack transport was a class of US Navy attack transport built in 1919 that saw service in World War II. Like all attack transports, the purpose of the ''Heywood'' class ships was to transport troops and their equipment to hostile shores in order to execute amphibious invasions. To fulfill their mission, attack transports were fitted with a substantial number of integral landing craft, and were well armed with antiaircraft weaponry to protect themselves and their vulnerable cargo of troops from air attack in the battle zone. Background The ''Heywood'' class is amongst the few classes of attack transport that were converted from pre-war tonnage rather than built from either Maritime Commission or Victory ship hull types during the war. The origins of the ''Heywood'' class go back to the U.S. entry into World War I. At that time, the US Shipping Board was set up to modernize America's merchant cargo fleet, and to provide ships suitable for service as nava ...
