Ship project history: Fire support ships in hulls of LCI(L) class large infantry landing crafts, the further development of LCI(G). They had more powerful diesels and, as consequence, were faster. Some ships were armed instead of 76/50mm gun with the second twin 40/56mm Bofors.

Modernizations: None.

Naval service: LCS(L)(3)7, LCS(L)(3)26 and LCS(L)(3)49 were sunk by Japanese explosive boats at Mariveles Harbor (Philippines) 16/2/1945, LCS(L)(3)15 was sunk by kamikaze off Okinawa 22/4/1945, LCS(L)(3)33 was sunk by Japanese coastal artillery (or by kamikaze) off Okinawa 12/4/1945.
