I was stationed on a LPH amphibious helicopter ship in the 1980's. I can't help but notice the Blue Ridge class amphibious ship has a similar hull design. Does anyone know if they used the LPH hull as a basis for the Blue Ridge design? —Preceding

According to U.S. amphibious ships and craft: an illustrated design history By Norman Friedman, the Blue Ridge class was based upon an LPH hull with modifications.
