Jason class tank landing ship

Jason class tank landing ship

The Jason Class LST (tank landing ship) was ordered in 1986. Along with the Zubr class LCAC, they are the primary amphibious warfare ships of the Hellenic Navy. The first was 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.
