Which class includes LPD 20 USS Green Bay and LPD 22 San Diego and has a well deck and helop pad?

• A. Austin Class
• B. LPD (old class)
• C. LSD
• D. San Antonio Class

Answer: (D)

These ships are the San Antonio class of amphibious transport docks. The San Antonio class is the modern lineage of LPDs built to carry Marines and their equipment, combining a flooded well deck that allows landing craft (like LCACs and landing craft) to move between sea and shore with a flight deck capable of operating helicopters. The hull numbers 20 (Green Bay) and 22 (San Diego) are part of this same class, along with others in the series. The well deck and the helo pad setup are defining features of this design, distinguishing it from older classes such as the Austin class or from dock landing ships (LSDs), which have different layouts and mission focuses.
