  • Un Landing Ship Infantry (LSI) est un type de navire de la Royal Navy chargé de transporter des embarcations de débarquement et des troupes pour les opérations amphibies durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Ils sont principalement employés par les marines du Commonwealth : la Royal Navy, la Royal Canadian Navy, la Royal Australian Navy et la Royal Indian Navy. En règle générale, un LSI transportait sa cargaison d'infanterie de son port d'embarquement jusqu'à proximité de la côte à envahir. De cette position, située à environ 6 à 11 milles au large, les troupes étaient transférées dans des péniches de débarquement, le plus souvent des Landing Craft Assault (LCA), pour le trajet jusqu'à la terre ferme. Les péniches de débarquement revenaient au LSI après avoir débarqué leur cargaison et étaient hissées pour embarquer des troupes supplémentaires. (fr)

LSIs were operated by the Royal Navy, British Merchant Navy, Royal Canadian Navy, Royal Indian Navy, and Royal Australian Navy. They transported British Commonwealth and other Allied troops in sea assaults and invasions throughout the war. Typically, a landing ship, infantry would transport its cargo of infantry from its embarkation port to close to the coast to be invaded. This location (the "lowering position" in Royal Navy terminology) was approximately 6–11 miles off shore. The troops would then transfer to landing craft, most commonly LCAs, for the journey to the beach. The landing craft would return to the LSI after disembarking their cargo and be hoisted up to embark additional troops. (en)
  • Le Landing Ship Infantry furono navi mercantili convertite per il trasporto delle truppe durante la seconda guerra mondiale, da parte dell'Ammiragliato britannico. Parte di queste navi vennero riadattate in Gran Bretagna, e vennero complementate da una flottiglia di Landing Craft Assault operata da personale della Royal Navy o dei Royal Marines. Le navi potevano avere equipaggio militare, e quindi di una delle marine del Commonwealth con la relativa White Ensign o equipaggio civile e quindi i militari gestivano solo i mezzi da sbarco e l'armamento antiaereo, e portavano la Red Ensign, come adesso le unità della Royal Fleet Auxiliary. Un lotto di tredici navi venne riadattato negli Stati Uniti a partire da uno scafo commerciale, lo C1-S-AY1 della Consolidated Steel Corporation, e le navi presero un nome composto da due parole, la prima della quale era "Empire"; si ebbero quindi la Empire Javelin, affondata dal siluro di un U-Boot il 28 dicembre 1944, la SS Empire Spearhead o la Empire Battleaxe. Ognuna di queste portava due flottiglie da 12 LCA appese a gru Welin-McLachlin adatte ad un uso intensivo. L'equivalente per la flotta statunitense erano gli attack transport, trasporti d'attacco come ad esempio la USS McCawley (APA-4), contraddistinti dalle sigle AKA o APA. (it)
