Serious consideration was later given to utilizing the ships as mobile power-generating stations, as their turbo-electric plant was seen as their biggest asset and was capable of generating a significant amount of electricity. The project never came to fruition however and was ultimately abandoned. The remainder of the class was ultimately sold off to scrapping companies in the late 1960's, with

twin-screw vessel capable of 16.5 knots with a maximum draft of 15.5', an overall length of 426' and a troop-carrying capacity of 800. A distinctive feature of the ships was the sharply raked "Meierform" bow which helped to reduce pitching in heavy seas. The turbo-electric propulsion system was also seen as innovative for a vessel of this type and proved to be reliable in service. Closely related to the original BD1 design were the Type S4 attack cargo ships, the

The speed of their construction was notable, with Consolidated Steel's contract of 32 vessels being fulfilled three months early. This was all the more impressive considering that this was an all-new design which had never been constructed anywhere previously.

The

Maritime Commission at the time). The final design yielded a

At the end of the war, the US Navy found itself with far more ships than it required in peacetime. An assessment of the then unknown effects of atomic weaponry upon a naval fleet was a high postwar priority, resulting in the formation of a Joint Task Force to plan and execute
