Doyen-class attack transport
The ''Doyen''-class attack transport was a class of attack transport that saw service with the US Navy in World War II. Ships of the class were named after Generals of the United States Marine Corps.
Like all attack transports, the purpose of the ''Doyen'' class was to transport troops and their equipment to hostile shores in order to execute amphibious invasions. To perform this task, attack transports were equipped with a substantial number of integral landing craft, and heavily armed with antiaircraft weaponry to protect themselves and their vulnerable cargo of troops from air attack in the battle zone.
==Background==
There were only two ships of the ''Doyen'' class. They were based on the Maritime Commission's P1 hull type, specifically the P1-S2-L2 type. Both were built by the Consolidated Steel Corporation of Los Angeles, California.
Laid down as part of the Navy's 1940 fiscal program, they were each designed to carry a battalion of the Marine Expeditionary Force which was maintained on both coasts of the United States in peacetime. The lead ship, , was launched in July 1942 while her sister ship was not launched until the following November, but ''Feland'' was first to be commissioned, on May 22, 1943, about a month before ''Doyen''. Both ships were reclassified from transports (AP) to attack transports (APA) while still dockside, in February 1943.
