Historical Information
The Ōsumi class entered service in 1998 and combines vehicle and troop lift with landing craft air cushion operations and helicopter support. Although classified by Japan as tank landing ships, the vessels use a large flat upper deck and internal vehicle spaces to support amphibious movement, logistics, humanitarian assistance, and disaster-relief missions.
