Baker III and Naval History and Heritage Command.The Crosley class high speed transports differed from the Rudderow class DEs by having the aft 5″ gun, the torpedo tubes amidships, and the Hedgehog ASW mortar cabinet removed. APDs could embark 200 troops, 40 tons of cargo, and still provide gunfire support for amphibious landings.
In addition to the ARC Córdoba (at left), and the Taj Mahal replica, there is a DC-6 Avianca aircraft (middle upper) and a very odd interpretation of a 17th Century ship (middle lower).
