Cleveland Class Amphibious Transport DockThe Cleveland class of amphibious transport dock was a refinement of the Austin class. Note that some sources consider Cleveland and later ships to be a part of the Austin class, but the Naval Vessel Registry lists them as a separate class. All earlier classes are being replaced by the San Antonio class. The Cleveland class was originally to consist of ten vessels, LPD-7 through LPD-16. Seven ships were actually completed and listed in this class, with one being converted to a command ship, Coronado (AGF-11). Trenton (LPD-14) and Ponce (LPD-15) were originally to be included in the Cleveland class, but were completed as almost identical Trenton-class LPDs. The most noticeable difference is the telescoping hangar on the Clevelands, which the earlier ships lack.
