The LST100 delivers a high payload onto a secured beach and provides a flexible base platform for various operations. The NATO amphibious Ship to Objective Manoeuvre (STOM) involves the movement of landing forces from over the horizon directly to their objective. This is often supported/supplemented by a limited or temporary build-up of combat power on a beach. Once the beach is secure, the LST100 can rapidly provide an unmatched amount of operational assets. This capability makes an LST a ‘force multiplier’ in STOM operations as part of an Amphibious Task Group. Alternatively, LSTs can operate independently and conduct amphibious operations using their reconnaissance capability to secure a beach for the main force on board.
