Wow [X(]

I wonder why they had such long legs, anyone know?

It looks like it carried quite alot of fuel (for its size)

4,080 Tons fully loaded - 500 ton load - 1,625 tons light= 1955 tons left

FWIW, you -do- get points for at least the LCI(G) ships (they're worth 2 each).  The standard LCI barges, i don't know.
 
And the LCI(G,M,R) ships are worthless.  They have no portage capacity, and the do *NOT* fullfill their role of suppressing enemy fire during an invasion.  I tested these guys extensively, and they do nothing for a TF except to add targets.
 
Just FYI.
