HMS Glengyle
HMS ''Glengyle'' was a cargo ship that served in the Second World War as an infantry landing ship (large) of the Royal Navy. She carried Commonwealth and other Allied troops in amphibious operations. ''Glengyle'' was able to make good speed on long ocean voyages to operational areas and then, by means of the many landing craft carried aboard, land assault infantry, vehicles, and stores on contested shores.
==Design and conversion==
''Glengyle'' was built by Caledon Shipbuilding & Engineering Company, Dundee, for the Glen Line. In 1938, whilst ''Glengyle'' and her sisters, ''Glenearn'', ''Glenroy'', and ''Breconshire'' were being built, the Inter-Service Training and Development Centre determined that they would be ideal for infantry landing ships.〔Maund, p. 9〕 This class of four fast passenger and cargo liners then under construction were intended for the Far East trade route.〔Fergusson, p. 41〕 The Admiralty acquired ''Glengyle'' shortly after her launch, and she was converted into a fast supply ship. During April and June 1940, she underwent further conversion into an infantry landing ship capable of transporting an embarked force of up to 34 officers and 663 other ranks and carrying 12 LCAs on Welin-McLachan davits and 1 LCM stored in chocks on deck and launched by 30-ton derricks.〔Ladd,1976 p. 78〕〔Maund, p. 66〕〔Ladd, 1978, p. 245〕 She was accepted into service on 10 September and, on 31 January 1941, ''Glengyle'' sailed around Africa to the Mediterranean, where she became part of Layforce.
